We have a part of this quote on a poster in my gym, and I love it.

Lance Armstrong: "Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever."

I know theres many out there, but which one is your favourite?
 
Quote from the man I was named after

"Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, Rage, against the dying of the light"

Sad movie though :(

Got this from my trainer yesterday. Bruce Lee says "I fear not the man who has practiced 10000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10000 times."

I think thats very suitable when thinking about training.
 
You may not realize it when it happens but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing for you-Walt Disney
 
Man is just another animal, sometimes better, more often worse than those who walk on all fours. Who, because of his divine spiritual and intellectual development, has become the most vicious animal of all.

Absolutely love this one

I have always looked at alternative "religions" to oppose my birth religion. Always made for fun conversations specifically as a kid with priests and rabbis. :)

They didn't like me much

The ex went freaking crazy with it. He was a Christian then got into collecting bones and all kinds of crap. Some of his stuff I can understand but others were freaking crazy.
