Nit a quote but the end of this poem i find has helped me in recent months doesnt always last but helps

thanks judi dench

and though

We are not now that strength which in old days

Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,

One equal temper of heroic hearts,

Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will

To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

I love this quote from Paradide Lost, better to reign in hell than serve in heaven.

On an even more personal note. I've written a book filled with quotes, because it was meant to inspire I omitted thos quote from it " Good defeats Evil most of the times, but sometimes in order to defeat the Devil you must first become his disciple"

Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!

Somewhere In The Ether…

The following quote is hardly inspirational but it is an absolute classic nonetheless;

It comes from the 30th President of the United States, Calvin Coolidge;

He was apparently attending an opera at the time in which the lead singers performance was somewhat less than satisfactory.

Subsequently asked by the press, ‘What did you think of the singers execution?’, Coolidge replied dryly, ‘I’m all for it.’
