'Willing is not enough, we must do.'

Couldn't tell you who said it, as Google is undecided between Bruce lee, Leonardo davinci and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

I like this one, I have plenty ideas of what I'm going to do before I go swimming but then I've actually got to go and do them.

And my personal favourite is 'Chlorine the breakfast of champions'.
This morning I literally had chlorine for breakfast, I swallowed quite a bit of pool water. Men whilst trying to go fast are very splashy which does not fit in well when you are trying to breath.

Shortly after I lost Jeff, I was having a pretty difficult day. I ended up getting some Chinese food for dinner. When I opened my fortune cookie, the paper read:

"The human spirit is stronger than anything that can happen to it."

I reread that often .

Also, on a bracelet I wear daily, a very simple :

Love This Moment

 

[elemmac]

For as long as I can remember whenever read a book, I'll highlight, note or dog-ear a page when a quote strikes me. One of my most recent notes was this one...

"Unconditional love is an illogical notion, but such a great and powerful one". - A.J. Jacobs

And one of my favorites from a long time ago is.... "Figure out what's important in life, f*** the rest of it." - Todd Richards

 

[ddskis]

I'm with elemmac- highlight, memorize, or write down quotes from books, movies, poetry, whatever since forever.

I From The Martian-
"I'm going to have to science the sh** outta this." Science rules!

Nietzsche-
"We have art lest we perish from the truth." Art is essential.

Thomas Mullen from The Last Town on Earth-
"A woman whose stare could've knocked down a few trees." I want to be this woman!

Bumping this up again. Because it's worth it.

The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.

-- Albert Einstein
