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.

“The person who knows HOW will always have a job, but the person who knows WHY will always be his boss.” John Maxwell
“I am looking for a lot of men who have an infinite capacity to not know what can’t be done.” Henry Ford
“The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.” Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
“It’s not about money or connections. It’s the willingness to outwork and outlearn everyone when it comes to your business.

I think networking and money are needed of course , but what sets the highly successful apart from the rest is the willingness to learn and never think we have “arrived”.IMO

The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place... and I don´t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently, if you let it. You, me or nobody, is gonna hit as hard as life. But ain't about how hard you hit... It's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward... how much you can take, and keep moving forward. That´s how winning is done. Now, if you know what you worth, go out and get what you worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits. And not pointing fingers saying: You ain´t what you wanna be because of him or her or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain´t you! You´re better than that
I saw a Warren Buffet interview that he was asked if there was any one important thing he could teach new students, what is it?...his reply was the "...the power of compounding"
This has always helped to remind me that every little saving or extra profit I make does not necessarily make or break me, but, at the end of a year, decade, or life...the effect of compounding the total of those savings, earnings and interest can make a huge difference.

"If you think you can you're right, If you think you can't you're right" I'm not sure where I heard it but it reminds that a positive mental attitude can overcome many obstacles
It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so. - Ironically associate with Mark Twain, but not his quote
Character is how you treat those who can do nothing for you
With great power comes great responsibility - Peter Parker
