Quotes!

I just now realized that I left out quotes for my last three posts! ARGH! So, in the interest of not breaking tradition, here are three quotes I like that are not random or anything, just ones I love

• "Obstacles are things a person sees when he takes his eyes off his goal."- E. Joseph Cossman
• "Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens."-Jimi Hendrix
• "Listening, not imitation, may be the sincerest form of flattery."-Dr. Joyce Brothers

But, for today, I feel like I need to share a couple good quotes that I love more than any quotes I can put on here

A few from Vince Lombardi (yes, I'm a sports nut but they are AMAZING!)
"I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious."
"The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather in a lack of will."
"In great attempts it is glorious even to fail."
"The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure. These qualities are so much more important than the events that occur. "

And here is something that was quoted in a movie back in 2005 (Coach Carter) that was based off a real life event. The scene that prompts the line is Coach Carter speaks to a young man (Timo Cruz) in the movie that he has repeatedly asked "What's your deepest fear?". Here, Cruz answers with a quote from a poem that I find very inspiring and powerful...

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. "

Hope yall enjoy those quotes. I just love looking back on what people before me said and immortalized into quotes so we can come back and look at them and feel inspired. Have a great day and thanks for reading this, it means a lot to me. Maybe I'll post again later!
