maderrOur huddle thingie this week (it's a learning type thing our business does, to connect the different sites blah blah blah learning skills blah blah blah) is on Inspriation. One of the suggestions for the sites was to make a quote of the day/week board. I told this to Boss Lady, expecting her to shoot it down (stuff like that, we usually do not bother) - instead she told me I could be in charge of it.
Ahahaha. So much for being a smartass. I always pay for it in the end ^_~
But, it's fly by me. I like stuff like this (and the other chick will seethe that I was told to do something instead of her. see me be all of 5 for a moment).
So, any good quotes? What quotes, lyrics, etc. inspire/motivate/etc? THE SMARTASSES IN THE AUDIENCE WILL PLEASE KEEP THEM WORK APPROPRIATE YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream--and not make dreams your master,
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!
--Rudyard Kipling
Quotes:
"Friendship is neither a formality nor a mode: it is rather a life."
-David Grayson
Besotted Being! You think yourself the perfection of existence, while you are in reality the most imperfect and imbecile. You profess to see, whereas you can see nothing but a Point! You plume yourself on inferring the existence of a Straight Line; but I CAN SEE Straight Lines, and infer the existence of Angles, Triangles, Squares, Pentagons, Hexagons, and even Circles. Why waste more words? Suffice it that I am the completion of your incomplete self. You are a Line, but I am a Line of Lines, called in my country a Square: and even I, infinitely superior though I am to you, am of little account among the great nobles of Flatland, whence I have come to visit you, in the hope of enlightening your ignorance.
-A. Square to the King of Points, Flatland
(That was geeky and more then a little obtuse.)
* If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
-Albert Einstein
You, you, and you: panic. The rest of you, come with me.
-?
"Lord, give me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people I had to kill because they pissed me off."
-?
Nuclear Fission is nice, but none of the really cosmic breakthroughs can hope to surpass the utility and availability of the white 5-gallon plastic bucket.
-J. Taylor Buckley
"When you sell a man a book, you don't sell him 12 ounces of paper and ink and glue- you sell him a whole new life."
-Christopher Morley
"The problem with reality is the lack of background music."

"I've often wanted to drown my troubles, but I can't get my wife to go swimming."
