So, I'm a bit of a nerd and have a white board in my barn that I like to put inspirational quotes on for myself and my students. Always looking for new ones, so please share!
Here's what is currently on my board:
"The road to success is always under construction"
"Choose your attitude at the door, your horse & instructor will thank you for it"
"Elbow grease is the best tool in your grooming kit."
"There are 3 types of people in the world; those who learn by reading, those who learn by observation, and the rest of us just have to piss on that electric fence ourselves"
"Kyllä se elämä kantaa" ("Life will always hold you").
"Parempi pyy pivossa kuin kymmenen oksalla" ("A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush").
"Kuolema kuittaa univelat" ("Death will cover the sleep debt").
Here are a few poems, rather than quotes that I have:
Don't Quit by: Unknown Author
When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh.
When care is pressing you down a bit.
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns
As every one of us sometimes learns.
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out:
Don't give up though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt.
And you never can tell how close you are.
It may be near when it seems so far:
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
Theodore Roosevelt It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled 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 and comes short again and again; 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 timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.
"I know they say at first love is the sweetest, but that first cut is the deepest. I was trying to keep us together, you were busy keeping secrets. Secrets you were tellin everybody me.. don't be fooled by the money I'm still just young & unlucky. I'm surprised you couldn't tell."
Drake.
I don't know how inspirational that is, but it keeps me going. Posted via Mobile Device
I can't even imagine being so angry at the world that I couldn't enjoy the presence of an innocent child.-Me (I just wrote it on another thread and realized its brilliance)
"Never argue with a fool, they will lower you to their level and then beat you with experience"
"The more you learn, the less you know"
"Don't tell me what to do and I won't tell you where you have to go" (that's my favorite actually, because that's how I feel when people start to "teach me how to live")
"Life like a zebra: white stripe, black stripe, white stripe, black stripe... a*s"
I can think of more, but not now...
