“You don’t stop when you are tired. You stop when the gorilla is tired.”

A bunch of triathletes say that. At least that is who I heard it from. 🙂 If you were getting attacked by a gorilla, you most definitely wouldn’t stop when you were tired, right? Well, it is a good thing to keep in mind during a triathlon or any race for that matter. Don’t stop when you get tired, stop when you have beaten the race!

That’s a good quote 🙂 My favorite was always “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.”

The PB french toast sounds awesome!

pura vida! fell in love with it during my yoga retreat to costa rica. there’s so much passion in those words.

Mmmm…great looking French toast.

“Whether you think you can or you think you can’t– you’re right.”

i recently had pb french toast and it blew my mind. Great job sharing a recipe we can all enjoy. I hate to get all religious but “God won’t give you anything you can’t handle”. Even at the darkest of times, believe that you can triumph over it cause you are strong and HE will give you strength. I know. totally serious and out of my character but that quote really got me through tough times.

yikes! that quote hits very close to home. 3 months ago I had no idea how to swim, i couldn’t make it from one end of the pool to the other, after swimming lessons and 2 weekly swimming workouts, i swam 12 continuous laps in the pool this morning.

i think i will print that out and put it in my swim bag

Love the quoteable cards. I send those out a lot.

some faves (from my mom but I think she stole it from Eleanor Roosevelt) “When you think you’re at the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.”

and another from my mom, the ex-nun mind you, “I’m happier then a pig in shit.”

Have a happy day!

Yolo. You only live once.

I love… “If you always do what you always did, you’ll always get what you always got.”

I love those cards! This is my favorite one of those cards (we have the magnet on our fridge ;))
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you’ve imagined. -Thoureau

That French toast sounds amazing! Have a great bike ride 🙂

My friend sent me a Birthday Card recently that said the following:

“The thing that is really hard, and is really amazing is giving up on being PERFECT and beginning the work of becoming YOURSELF!” – Anna Quuindlen

I love this quote and already shared it on my blog! I finally realized the above when I hit my 30’s……and I haven’t been more happier since. =)

Ohhhh pb french toast. Gasm up in thurr.

My fave quote? “I got game like EA.” -Weezy F. Baby
“My chick bad, my chick hood, my chick do stuff that yo’ chick wish she could.” -Luda

OK, I’m semi-kidding. My favorite quote is from a poem. Actually the whole poem I love with all my heart, but here’s my fave line:
-“Sit. Feast on your life.” -Derek Walcott

It’s been a tattoo consideration for almost a year now. Love!

Good luck with the ride! The pb french toast looks delicious and healthy, love it.
I really like your inspirational quote. I don’t think I can pick a favorite, I hear a new one everyday that inspires me.

I am totally going to have to try that breakfast! I have soooo many quotes that I love. I have recently been starting every day with a quote I like on my facebook. Others seem to enjoy them as well. Here are some of my favorites:

Here are some quotes that I very much enjoy and believe:

“Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.” -Gail Devers-

Success: To laugh often and love much, to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give one’s self; to leave the world a bit better, whether a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived …this is to have succeeded. -Ralph W. Emerson-

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn’t supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once, and it’s harder every time. You will break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You will fight with your best friend. You will blame a new love for things an old one did. You will cry because time is passing too fast, and you will eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you’ve never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you will never get back. Don’t be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin… -Unknown-

“Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity.” –Gilda Radner

“Running is the classical road to self-consciousness, self-awareness and self-reliance. Independence is the outstanding characteristic of the runner. He learns the harsh reality of his physical and mental limitations when he runs. He learns that personal commitment, sacrifice and determination are his only means to betterment. Runners only get promoted through self-conquest.” ~Noel Carroll, Irish track trailblazer

I really like Maya Angelou’s quote, “If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude”. Words to live by!

Make good choices. – simple, effective:)

I have so many quotes that help me in different situations.

The one I keep in my head to take me through when the going gets tough is “this is only ____ minutes of the rest of your life, you can do it”. When I think of the situation that way, I can deal with it. Such a short time.

However, this is from Successories which is a favorite:

“This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind…let it be something good.”

My favorite quote is from a Nada Surf song… “To find someone you love, you gotta be someone you love”

I love this one from Real Simple mag: “Stop talking yourself out of the life you want most.” It was just what I needed to hear the first time I read it!

Also, I love this one, as a fun quote 🙂 : “Forget Love, I’d rather fall in chocolate.” – unknown

man your french toast looks good!
my fav “life is tough but God is good”

Wow that toast sounds good!
Quotes I love: you get out what you put in
The harder you work, the luckier you get
annnd one I picked up from you: Pain is temporary, quitting is forever.
Love them all!

“Everything happens for a reason” or the similar “What is meant to be, will be”. While they might be boring and sound like I’m a believe in not having control over things, that’s truly not the case. BUT I do believe that things and people come in and out of your life for a certain reason. It’s up to us to determine what that reason is look ahead for new opportunities.

Good luck at the trail race! Can’t wait to hear about the new PR!

All of my truly favorite quotes are from the Bible, because there is just a LOAD of inspiration in there. My favorite right now is : “Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

The french toast looks truly yummy! The only thing that would go with french toast and peanut butter better would be grilled banan, which of course I learned from you!

My favorite quote? I have many! But, here’s just to name a few:

“Who are you to judge the life I live? I know I’m not perfect and I don’t live to be, but before you start pointing fingers, make sure your hands are clean.” -Bob Marley

“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” – Mahatma Gandhi

“There is never a sudden revelation, a complete and tidy explanation for why it happened, or why it ends, or why or who you are. You want one and I want one, but there isn’t one. It comes in bits and pieces, and you stitch them together wherever they fit, and when you are done you hold yourself up, and still there are holes and you are a rag doll, invented, imperfect. And yet you are all that you have, so you must be enough. There is no other way.”- Marya Hornbacher

I recieved this at a bottom of an email and just love it, words to live by 🙂

RUN when you can,
WALK when you have to,
CRAWL if you must,
Just never GIVE UP!

Definitely…
“Be the change you want to see in the world.” -Ghandi

“Life is wither a daring adventure or nothing.”
Helen Keller

“Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.” I first saw it on the back of someone’s shirt last year during my first half-marathon and it’s been my mantra ever since.

One of my favorite’s has always been “God is a comedian playing to an audience too scared to laugh.” – Voltaire

I collect quotes by writing them in a notebook I carry with me. My favorite right now that I have taped to my work computer is, “Nothing is more powerful than hope.”

peanut butter french toast!?!?! That’s combining two of my favorite things!

I love
“Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower” from Steve Jobs.
I’m always trying to be creative and think of something new and entreprenuerial at work!

I love quotes! “You can’t change the past, but you have full control of the future”,

as well as “Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.”

Good things happen to people who work hard!

My favorite quote is

“Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.”

Carl Bard

It has helped me a lot in the past. Thank you for this post because it got me thinking about my life and some changes I need to make 🙂

I’d like to just thank you for posting that amazing quote. I haven’t been having the greatest time at work this week and reading this quote really just boosted my emotional mindset!
