outstanding quotes.

Maybe not outstanding but I truly lived by this one growing up in Brooklyn NY

"Never let someone talk to you the same way you would talk to them"

[DavidS]

probably one of my favorite two quotes

"Be the change you wish to see in the world" - Gandhi

"Whether you think you can or you think you can't you're right"- Henry Ford

[paulie]

the beatings will continue until morale improves

Forgot we're I heard it!

[marrylessey1694]

"smooth seas never make a good sailor"


"Not all people offering their hands to you are willing to help"


"When Nobody cares, care it for yourself".

[JimStorch]

Gradually... over time... you increase your work capacity with gradual, patient, and persistent effort. Generally the "weakest" link will, by necessity, dictate the rate of progress. Everything you have done so far before the last "workout" has allowed/prepared you to handle the workout itself. Be PATIENT with your preparation and the progress will follow.

Others can help you, but ultimately YOU must learn to be the "captain" of your "ship."

"Don't spit in my ass and tell me it's raining"

[Judas]

I've always liked that one. Sums up the outside world succinctly.


I could fill this whole section with really cool, pertinent quotes... but i wont. Instead... the quote on the back wall ov my barbell club:

"Cry in the dojo. Laugh on the battlefield."


Or on the picture ov the 60-some kilo Chinese girl with 160kg overhead i put right over the water fountain:

"Just remember... somewhere there is a little Chinese girl warming up with your max."

For those of us in the United States and in honor of tax day...this from Dick Solomon from "Third Rock From the Sun"

"I'm a superior being...I can calculate the orbit of a decaying moon to the tenth of an inch, but I can't calculate schedule 59 A!"

"If your dreams don't scare you they aren't big enough"

Can't believe no one has said this gem from Jerry Rice...

"Today I will do what others won't, so tomorrow I can accomplish what others can't"
