Motivational Quotes Competition
8 September 2008 12:10 pm
Truman Capote once wrote ‘To me, the greatest pleasure of writing is not what it’s about, but the inner music the words make.’ A well written quote holds the power to shift a person from inaction to action, from deflated to inspired.
This month I am searching for the best of the best. The creme de la creme of motivational quotes. What have you read that sends a shiver up your spine, makes you smile, raises a murmour in your heart?
What are your favorite motivational quotes? Post them below in the comments section and next month I will award a $50 Amazon voucher to the winning quote. Enter as many quotes as you wish.
Competition closes September 30th 2008. Good luck!
Last month I ran the Motivational Quotes competition and now I have to decide which one deserves to win. I loved all of them! I particularly loved Amy Common’s, Bay Martin’s, Geraldine Phillips, and Noel Lyons, but there can only be one winner, and that person is Johnny Mac. Congratulations on winning a $50 Amazon voucher for submitting this pearler:
“Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.”
Theodore Roosevelt
Thank you to everyone who submitted amazing quotes.

You never get to do your best.

Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.”

The difficult is done at once
the impossible takes a little longer

have been accomplished by people who have
kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.”
Dale Carnegie
“To put the world right in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must first put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must first cultivate our personal life; we must first set our hearts right.”
Confucius
If you think you can do a thing or you think you can’t do a thing, you’re right.
Henry Ford
‘Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, happy and loudly proclaiming — WOW — What a Ride!’
success is a marathon, not a sprint!
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
- Mark Twain

“Those who can, DO!, those who can’t but are willing to change, TRY!, those who won’t try make EXCUSES!”
Great Quote David!!!!
“Today is a new day, a new beginning. It has been given to me as a new gift. I can either use it or throw it away. What I do today will affect me tomorrow. I cannot blame anyone but myself if I do not succeed. I promise to use this day to the fullest by giving my best, realizing it can never come back again. This is my life and I choose to make it a success.”

Sounds more like a Mantra than a quote Bert!
