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.

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.

@Nathan Killebrew , "everytime a frog jumps he bumps his rear" writen by me. The meaning behind this is we know sometimes moving forward there are obstacles and challenges in our way but we move forward in order to succeed.
@Nathan Killebrew I've had this one on my whiteboard for many years: "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now." I don't know whom to attribute it to, and I think it's an old Chinese proverb.
After the quote I put "Retirement Planning". This has been a conversation starter for many of my employees, many of whom were recent college grads. And, I'm extremely proud to say that there is a good chance that I have played a small part in their future success leading to retirement. At least, I hope that I have.
How is it possible that this great quote has been on here for 24 hours and only ONE vote! Lol, I know I'm deep in this thread... And I like how you substituted "Retirement planning" too.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.”

@Nathan Killebrew
My favorite quote is actually from my dad lol “no one will ever take care of you like yourself”
He would always say this to me ever since I was a kiddo. This is so true because at the end of the day no one can force you to take care of yourself like you. Everyone can give you good advice/ want the best for you but it is ultimately you who decides what to do. It is up to YOU to take action!!!!!

“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 who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows 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 neither know victory nor defeat.”
