I know the captain of my team last year put up quotes on a board before every meeting. As co-captain this year, I have continued this tradition. I have found some fun and inspirational quotes and used some of them, but each time it gets tougher to find them. I'm sure some other teams out there does the same, so I'd like to start a list of quotes. I'm a big Disney fan, so I've used a lot of Walt Disney quotes. Here are a few:
- "It's kind of fun to do the impossible." -Walt Disney
- "It's like WWE...but for smart people!" -George H.W. Bush speaking at FIRST Championship 2008
- "Winning isn't always championships." -Michael Jordan
- "If you are going to be stupid, be smart about it"
- "Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress; but I repeat myself." -Mark Twain
- "The best way to get started is to stop talking and begin doing." -Walt Disney
- "For a moment, nothing happened. Then, after a second or so, nothing continued to happen." -Douglas Adams
- "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." -Ferris Bueller
- "'Well, we already bought the tickets' -Abe Lincoln" -Mike Birbiglia
- "Good is the enemy of great." -Jim Collins
- "Really, I thought you were the robit!" -Dr. Zoidberg
- "Plus it" -Walt Disney
P.S. The book
Dance First, Think Later has a lot of great quotes, though some of them are demotivational. Same with the bathrooms on Celebrity Cruises' men's bathrooms (went on it, but you can look it up too) also have great quotes, but most are demotivational, such as Lane Kirkland's "If hard work were such a wonderful thing, surely the rich would have kept it all to themselves."
