I always love these from Dr. Seuss:

• Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you.

• Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.

• I meant what I said and I said what I meant.

• The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.

• Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So... get on your way.

• Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try.

• You're on your own, and you know what you know. And you will be the guy who'll decide where you'll go. Oh the places you'll go.

• I meant what I said and I said what I meant.

Along those lines, "I know you think you understand what you thought I meant, but I’m not sure if you realize that what you heard is not what I said". Confuse the heck out of everyone!

"It is nice to be important, it is always more important to be nice"

I am also a big fan of Dr Seuss Quotes! :

"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.”

"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.”

“Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one.”

and my FAVORITE quote ever, also Dr Seuss:

“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own.
And you know what you know. You are the guy who'll decide where to go.”

Here are some:

“When a dog runs at you, whistle for him.”

“Happiness is not a station to arrive at, but a manner of traveling.” – Margaret Lee Runbeck

“Open your eyes, and dream.”

“It’s kind of fun to do the impossible.” – Walt Disney

“The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.”

“We should not let our fears hold us back from pursuing our hopes.” – John F. Kennedy

“Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path, and leave a trail.”

“After all, success in life is not how well we execute Plan A; it’s how smoothly we cope with Plan B.” – Sarah Ban Breathnach

“Carrying a grudge is like drinking poison and expecting the other guy to die.”

Flatter me, and I may not believe you.
Criticize me, and I may not like you.
Ignore me, and I may not forgive you.
Encourage me, and I will not forget you.

Just wanted to add the author to the above since it was what I was going to post as well.


Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. -Ralph Waldo Emerson

This has always been one of my favorites. I've used it many a time with new hires in my line of work.

Forget inspiration and crap. It's all fluff.

Go with something real, like:

"I heart bacon."

Everybody loves bacon.

Wow, I think I still remember mine: "So before we end, and then begin, we'll drink a toast to how it's been." - Billy Joel

 

[DebD4T]

If you can imagine it, you can achieve it
If you can dream it, you can become it.
