As Seen on Facebook

Every once in awhile I actually read the quotes people put on Facebook. Since this site is meant to include happy and encouraging sayings, I thought that selecting a few of the quotes others find motivating and have posted on Facebook would be a good place to start.

These quotes stood out to me because they talk about having a conqueror's spirit. Apparently we all need a little psyching up once in awhile.

"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing." ~Helen Keller

"Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checked by failure...than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat." ~Teddy Roosevelt

To change your life:
start immediately;
do it flamboyantly;
no exceptions.
-William James

"If you avoid difficult things, great things will avoid you." -- George Brimhall

"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin -- real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way. Something to be got through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life."
– Alfred D'Souza

"Life is worth the scary parts." -- Mr. Dungbeetle

"Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed." -- Booker T. Washington
