Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. - Timo Cruz

"If these drivers dont want to go fast they need to climb out of the car, tie a kerosene rag around their ankles so the ants wont climb up and eat their candy butts"-Dale Earnhardt

"Dont ever stand upon the shore line and say youre satisfied. Choose to chance the rapids and dare to dance the tide"-Garth Brooks from the song "The River"

"If you dont approach youre job with fire and enthusiasm. You will be fired with enthusiasm"-Vince Lombardi

"Football isnt a popularity contest. I dont care if anyone on the other team likes me or not but they WILL respect me"-Jack Lambert
