What is your favorite quote??

I believe quotes are a powerful tool. They provide a boost of quick knowledge and motivation. I would love to hear your favorites and why they are.

"Don't wait for the perfect opportunity: create it." -George Benard Shaw

I love this because it symbolizes the truth that nothing is going to be given it must be earned/taken. When I read it each day, I am naturally shifted into an action taking mindset.

“You have enemies? Why, it is the story of every man who has done a great deed or created a new idea. It is the cloud which thunders around everything that shines. Fame must have enemies, as light must have gnats. Do not bother yourself about it; disdain. Keep your mind serene as you keep your life clear” - Victor Hugo

Here is THE BEST quote i have heard over my 49 years of my life thus far, I heard it when i was a child from my grandma and was passed down from her father, my Great Grandpa. It rhymes, it's wisdom, it's visually presentable if you hold up your hand and count on your fingers as you say it, it's intriguing to say da least, it's one damn good quote. Cheers Investors!
"As you travel through life's journey, these 5 things be aware... of whom you speak, to whom you speak, how, when and where."

"Challenge Breeds Excellence"
When I first saw this quote I was amazed because it summed up my viewpoint on life in just three words.
We are designed to adapt to new challenges and without them we can never reach our true potential in my opinion.
Great post Nathan!

I have a list of favorites but many have a similar tone:
Those at the top of the mountain didn’t fall there. — Marcus Washling
The only thing standing between you and your goal is the ******** story you keep telling yourself as to why you can't achieve it.- Jordan belfort
"You can't have a million-dollar dream with a minimum -wage work ethic." -- Stephen C. Hogan
You're not tired. You are uninspired.
We've got another day, so let's maximize it.
If we strive for perfection, we can achieve excellence.

I like it because it gets to the crux of the matter. I like cool quotes, but I like doing more than reading quotes.
Like Yoda said, "Do, or do not. There is no try."
Just do it. Even in failure, there is the success of lessons learned.

Something I just heard recently. “There’s nursing homes full of regrets.” That sent a chill down the spine. 😅
