What are some quotes/sayings that describe you and have helped you through life?

Quote:

We the willing, led by the unknowing are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We've been doing so much for so long with so little we are now capable of doing anything with nothing.

...on the CD case of Dry Kill Logic's "Dead and Dreaming".

From the movie Blow, one of my favorite movies:

Quote:

So in the end, was it worth it? Jesus Christ. How irreparably changed my life has become. It's always the last days of summer and I've been left out in the cold with no door to get back in. I'll grant you I've had more than my share of poignant moments. Life passes most people by when they're busy making grand plans for it. Throughout my lifetime I've left pieces of my heart here and there. And now, there's almost barely enough to stay alive. But I force a smile, knowing that my ambition far exceeded my talent. There are no more white horses or pretty ladies at my door.

So sad, but so true.

You get off on "dark shit" don't you? Perhaps something more positive will help you: I bought a poem that was mounted in a frame from a calligrapher about 8-10 years ago and it still means alot to me to this day:

Believe in yourself and in your dream
though impossible things may seem.
Someday, somehow you'll get through
to the goal you have in view

Mountains fall and seas divide
before the one, who in his stride
takes the hard road day by day
sweeping obstacles away.

Believe in yourself and in your plan
say not, "I cannot" but, "I can"
The prizes of life we fail to win
because we doubt the power within.

Great post... thanks for sharing.

"WHOA...Look at the ass on that!", "Yeah, he must REALLY work out!"

-Lloyd and Harry from "Dumb and DUmber"

Always know which side your butter is breaded on.

Staff Sgt G, whose motto is "Move fast, shoot straight and leave the rest to the counsellors in 10 years" and signs off his e-mails with "silent souls make.308 holes".

if you don't like how things go around here, get promoted to my rank, then pass me by 2 and I'll do what you say, LOL

educate yourself, cause no one can take it away from you - prepare yourself for the future - save your money for the future, don't tell anyone about your saved money- always remember that mom quit takeing care of you at 18, takeing care of yourself is priority no. 1, but don't make it known to everyone - you signed that contract for four years so your ass belongs to me, I don't give a fuck how much you want to cry - not really a quote, just what I've come up with for success for the younger guys who work for me

I don't give a fuck - works well too lately

It is not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, if he wins, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."
