We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.

Favorite short line:
What I have in my heart, I’ll take to my grave.

Just heard a good on at the end of a show the other day:
“The lessons that we learn from pain are the ones that make us strongest.”
“Is the big slob your boyfriend?”
“Pull my finger”
I can’t even begin to think that I can come up with anything better than what has been said by the greates orators in history. Therefore, I will give you some of my favorites:
From General George S. Patton:
“There is only one type of discipline, perfect discipline.”
“You’re never beaten until you admit it.”
“It is only by doing things others have not that one can advance.”
“As I walk thorugh the valley of death I fear no one, for I am the meanest mother ****** in the valley!”
“All glory is fleeting.”
From Teddy Roosevelt:
"Character, in the long run, is the decisive factor in the life of an individual and of nations alike. "
"Don’t hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft. "
“Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.”
“In a moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing. The worst thing you can do is nothing.”
“Never throughout history has a man who lived a life of ease left a name worth remembering.”
And probably my favorite quote of all-time(also Teddy):
“It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly…who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who have never known neither victory nor defeat.”

Here it goes:
?The day you stop trying, is the day you start dying?
~C-MATIC
This phrase has always keeped me going…
“Trust me.”
“We trust … and we verify.” (Ronny Reagan to Gorby, if memory serves me right.)
My strong words…
To err is indeed human, however, this does NOT make complacency acceptable. If you aren’t perfect and you’re not trying to improve, you should have your brains stomped out.
Reinstate natural selection: Slaughter the weak, the lazy, and the stupid.
There is only one acceptable place: First.
Nobody said it would be easy, they just said it would be worth it
Enjoy your pain, you’ve earned it (this really helps two days after leg day)
That which does not kill me, had better run like Hell
Some people follow their dreams; others hunt them down and beat them mercilessly into submission
In the final review there will be no judges, only mute witnesses to my greatness
childhood advice from my stepdad:
“The sun doesn’t rise and set over your ass.”
“Never make an important decision with an erection.”
“Shit floats.”
