I like this one:

" The only place success come before work is in the dictionary " Vince Lombardi

Found these from a website a bit ago all from Albert Einstein:

" Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It

takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite

direction. "

" Imagination is more important than knowledge. "

" If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play;

and z is keeping your mouth shut. "

" The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason

for existing. "

" The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education. "

" Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. "

" Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new. "

" Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character. "

" I never think of the future. It comes soon enough. "

" He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt.

He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would

surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once.

Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble

war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It

is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of

murder. " (Just the first two sentences will do)

" Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be

counted counts. " (Sign hanging in Einstein's office at Princeton)

Terry Bradshaw was number 1 draft pick in the NFL in 1970. He had

played at Louisiana Tech. He ended up a quaterback of the Steelers

winning 8 championships and 4 superbowls.

When drafted by the Pittsburg Steelers they were a losing team.

Bradshaw said " If I thought like a winner I would not want to be

going to a losing organization like Pittsburg. Since I am a winner I

am looking forward to opportunity "

" Come to the edge. "

" We can't. We're afraid. "

" Come to the edge. "

" We can't. We will fall! "

" Come to the edge. "

And they came.

And he pushed them.

And they flew.

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave

a trail.

Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can

go.

do not dare that they are difficult. "

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something

else is more important than fear.

Ambrose Redmoon

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what

lies within us.

sincerely try to help another without helping himself. "

You lift me, and I'll lift you, and we'll ascend together.
