motivational phrases/speeches

[degrees of passion]

im interested in all the speeches/phrases/proverbs or whatever that gets everyone else through their training...im thinking along the lines of what many people have in their signatures:

Pain Is Temporary, Pride is Forever"
"Winning is not about being the fastest or the strongest, but the refusal to fail

The fear or giving up and failing is far more painful than the discomfort of temporary physical exertion.

etc etc etc

so can all users use this thread to post their inspirational thoughts etc here,ones that come to my mind instantly are churchills speeches and a few from patton,henry v at agincourt...

And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember'd;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.


Today you must do more than is required of you. Never think that you have done enough or that your job is finished. There is always something that can be done – something that can help to ensure victory. You cannot let others be responsible for getting you started. You must be a self starter. You must possess that spark of individual initiative that sets the leader apart from the led. Self motivation is the key to being one step ahead of everyone else. Always be on the lookout for the chance to do something better. Never stop trying. Fill yourself with the warrior spirit – and send that warrior into action.

General George Patton 1944

One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half.

Sir Winston Churchill

"Not Scared" - Gym and rugby talk.

"Its only pain" A believe thats a RM one but i once heard one of the coaches at rugby shout it.

"STRONG!!!" Another one from the gym.
