What is your favorite motivational quote?

I don't know what the dream is that you have. I don't care how far-fetched it might appear to be. I don't care how disappointing it might have been as you've been working toward that dream. But here's what I know. That dream that you're holding in your mind, that it's possible. What if all of us took that attitude after we face a rejection and a no, or we have a meeting and no one shows up? Or somebody says, "You can count on me." And they don't come through. What if we had that kind of attitude? The car's repossessed. Nobody believes in you. You've lost again, and again, and again. The lights are cut off, but you still are looking at your dream, reviewing it every day and say to yourself, "It's not over until I win." - Les Brown
