I like that.

 

Not a motivational quote, but one that hits the nail on the head regarding the circumstances of today:

"I've been on Wall Street for many years, and I've never seen a weekend like this one. We are unwinding what has been years of silliness in the financial markets, and the silliness is being vaporized as we speak, unfortunately with the stock price of a number of companies involved in it.''

- Michael Holland, Holland & Co.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

 

What counts more than luck is determination and perseverance. If the talent is there, it will come through. Don't be too impatient

Fred Astaire

 

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in getting up every time we do.

Confucius

I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career.
I've lost almost 300 games.
Twenty-six times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed.
I've failed over and over and over again in my life.

And that is why I succeed.


Michael Jordan
