We've got a bunch of good quotes on our shop wall, such as these.

A few of my other favorites:

"The world is run by those who show up" (I don't know the author)

"When you have no fear of embarrassment, a whole world of new possibilities opens up to you." - Jim Zondag

He acknowledged that it was not his quote, but I don't know who's quote that is.
