Answer 7

I don't know if you like Switchfoot, but they've helped me to get through a lot regardless of people telling me to stop obsessing over them I think their message is universal, and i'll give u some of their lines.

this is probably the best known

" I dare you to lose yourself to lift you self up off the floor, I dare you to move"-Jon Foreman

"You are golden, don't let go tonight"-Jon Foreman

"Earth spins and the moon goes round, green comes from the frozen ground, everything will be made new again, like freedom and spring"-Jon Foreman

"Too scared little runaways, hold fast 'til the break of daylight, the shadow proves the sunshine"-Jon Foreman

"If you only got one life, if you only got one life if time was never on your side, before I die, I wanna burn our bright"-Jon Foreman

"Don't say so long, and throw yourself wrong, don't spend today away, coz today will soon be gone"-Jon Foreman, Tim Foreman

hope this helps.. I had to put up inspiring quotes around the school once, and i used "this is your life, are you who you want to be?"-Jon Foreman

maybe you can use that too

Answer 8

Never Let The Fear Of Striking Out Keep You From Playing The Game

Answer 9

"If you think you are better, you are,

If you think you are not, you don't,

If you'd like to win, but think you can't,

It's almost a cinch you won't.

Life's battles don't always go to the

stonger faster man,

But sooner or later the man who wins,

Is the man who think's he can."

"I have walked that long road to freedom. I have tried not to falter; I have made missteps along the way. But I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are more hills to climb. I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come. But I can rest only for a moment, for with freedom come responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not yet ended." (Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela)

Answer 10

There are lots of those quotes you can find in the net. One that have inspired me to be successful is

Two Words That Promise Success Is HARD WORK

Sorry, can't remember who quoteted it.

Answer 11

I'm a fan of last words so I would recommend:

"Get out of here.  Last words are for fools who haven't said enough while they were alive."

-Karl Marx

or

"Wow.  I wonder who shot me."

-Huey P. Long

Strangely enough, they were both idealogically very similar.

And I would definitely not recommend using Switchfoot.
