What is the latest motivational quote that is getting you out the door?

Motivational quotes
My favorite motivational quotes are all from the same person...
1) "Keep training, lycra never lies!" JT Very true indeed. The stomach hanging out of a lycra suit isn't a good thing. That's one of the reasons I wear a vest... 2) "On the podium if the right people don't show up!" JT There are at least a dozen guys or more in the Minnesota and Wisconsin area who always beat me in my age group. They don't always show up for the races though... "Stick around this sport long enough and you'll beat everyone at least once!" JT Another very true quote. Here's a partial list of the skiers I've beaten who I've had no business beating; Marcus Nash, Chip Tabor, Jay Wenner, Greg Lemond, Jeff Bradley, Michael Standmann, Juha Mieto, Dave Dow, Dave Christopherson, Mike Myers, etc... They were either fat, out of shape, old or had very bad skis... Anyway, those are some great quotes... Jay Tegeder "It's not how fast you go, it's how many fast people you know!"

Motivational quotes
Night or day, it doesn't matter where I go anymore, I just go.
We set out that night for the cold in the North. Skies are grey, I'm looking for anything that will bring a happy glow. You'll never know the hurt I suffered nor the pain I rise above. Got ice water in my veins. Take a deep breath, feel like you're chokin'. I'm cold, cover me with a blanket. Suffering like a fool. North wind about to break. All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie. An artist formerly known as Blind Boy Grunt from Hibbing, Minnesota. Gary Jacobson- (I got forty red white and blue shoe strings.) Rosendale, NY "Eric W. Chandler" wrote in message ... What is the latest motivational quote that is getting you out the door?
