After reading Mojo's Humanity thread, I thought I would throw this out. Any thought's, fav quotes, etc., to jumpstart the day or raise someone's spirits?

"Somehow I can't believe there are many heights that can't be scaled by a man who knows the secret of making dreams come true. This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized in four C's. They are Curiosity, Confidence, Courage, and Constancy, and the greatest is Confidence. When you believe a thing, believe it all over, implicitly, and unquestioningly."

I don't have an uplifting chunk of text, but I have to add that Walt Disney truly did have his creative process down to a fine art. We were taught about just one of his at school (in the context of commercial art and design), but it applies in lots of places. Here's a doc about it:

Rock and roll lyrics provide many such thoughts. One of my personal favorites is Steve Miller band's "Your Saving Grace", in which he says "Tomorrow" is your saving grace.
In other words, if you can make it through today, tomorrow will be better. (especially helpful when you have a hangover, because you know a good nights sleep will do wonders) :smiley:
