Question

My soccer captains asked all the freshman to bring their favorite quote to practice any ideas? inspiration :)?

Answer 1

"forget yourself and go to work"

--gordon b. hinkley

Answer 2

"You can't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get."   -Michael Phelps

Answer 3

"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

stronger faster woman,

But sooner or later the woman who wins,

Is the woman who thinks she can."

Answer 4

Try looking up quotes from One Tree Hill or Grey's Anatomy.  All of my favorite quotes are from there.

Answer 5

I don't know if this would suit your purposes, but it is a great quote:

Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,

and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender,

be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly;

and listen to others,

even to the dull and the ignorant;

they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons;

they are vexatious to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,

you may become vain or bitter,

for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;

it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs,

for the world is full of trickery.

But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;

many persons strive for high ideals,

and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.

Neither be cynical about love,

for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,

it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,

gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.

But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.

Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,

be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe

no less than the trees and the stars;

you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you,

no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,

whatever you conceive Him to be.

And whatever your labors and aspirations,

in the noisy confusion of life,

keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,

it is still a beautiful world.

Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Max Ehrmann, 1921

Answer 6

Grey's Anatomy? Good God!

Wikiquotes is a good place to start, I've always quite liked Voltaire, Ambrose Bierce, Oscar Wilde, and, of course, Winston Churchill.

Voltaire:

It is better to risk sparing a guilty person than to condemn an innocent one.

To hold a pen is to be at war.

To pray to God is to flatter oneself that with words one can alter nature.

Ambrose Bierce:

Marriage, n. The state or condition of a community consisting of a master, a mistress and two slaves, making in all, two.

Oscar Wilde

A simile committing suicide is always a depressing spectacle.

Anybody can make history. Only a great man can write it.

Winston Churchill

The truth is incontrovertible. Panic may resent it, ignorance may deride it, malice may distort it, but there it is.

If Hitler invaded h**l, I would make at least a favourable reference to the devil in the House of Commons.

Answer 7

The pain of a loss is temporary. The glory of a win lasts forever
