My favorite is short and simple; it was drilled into my head by my first military supervisor who was a hard-ass but made me better because of it.

I have been feeling a little unmotivated so I checked out this thread. There are some great quotes and sayings here. I thought it could use a bump and some additions.
A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.
Francis Bacon
Winning isn't everything, but wanting to win is.
Vince Lombardi
Goals are the fuel in the furnace of achievement.
Brian Tracy, Eat that Frog
âHow soon 'not now' becomes 'never'.â Martin Luther
Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.â

Victory needs no explanation;
Defeat allows none.
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Wile E. Coyote, genius. I am not selling anything nor am I working my way through college, so let's get down to basics: you are a rabbit and I am going to eat you for supper. Now don't try to get away, I am more muscular, more cunning, faster and larger than you are, and I am a genius, while you could hardly pass the entrance examinations to kindergarten, so I'll give you the customary two minutes to say your prayers.
Bachelor of Science in PsychoRabbitology degree
Master of Education with a specialty in Rabbit-specific destructive munitions (or eLearning & Technology, I forget which)
Doctor of Philosophy in Wile E. Leadership with an area of specialty in Acme Mind Expansion - 2017 Hopefully

I lost this quote when the website went down I think it goes perfectly with the buddist one.
Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.

Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long.
We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious.....And curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

It's kind of fun to do the impossible.

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.
