Rocky Baboa to his son ( Rocky Balboa 2006):
Let me tell you something you already know. 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 it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get it 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’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!

There is one quote that I have taken to heart the moment I heard of it and it comes from one of the worlds greatest philosophers:
"I know... It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here... But we are... It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to know the ending, because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened. But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come and when the sun shines it'll shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr Frodo, I do understand... I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only the didn't. They kept going, because they were holding onto something... That there's some good in this world, Mr Frodo... And it's worth fighting for." Sam Gamgee, Lord of the Rings

"It is better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not having it." -My Industrial Arts high school teacher (took to semester with him and it was the only fucking thing I learned, but it made quite the impression because of if elegance and simplicity and the fact that it came from what it seemed, at the time, quite the useless human being. True story.)

"You fool me once, shame on you. You fool me twice, shame on me." - Master Live
Thank you sir! But I can't take credit for that, it is just a well know saying. I feel it is quite true and I take it to heart.

Yesterday is history,
Tomorrow is a mystery,
But today is a gift
That is why it is called
The Present.
