Re: Motivational quotes to get me through revision? :)Hmm not sure if these will help; but they will give you something to think about.
"If you are insecure, guess what? The rest of the world is, too. Do not overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself. You are better than you think."
"If you’re 25 and announce you want to start a new circus, the response is different: Be realistic; become a lawyer or an accountant or a doctor, have babies, and raise them to repeat the cycle."
“Success is the development of power with which to get whatever one wants in life, without interfering with the rights of others.”
“Power is organised energy or effort.”
“Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. Nothing can bring you success but yourself.”
“Initiative is the pass-key that opens the door to opportunity.”
“People live their lives bound by what they accept as correct and true. That's how they define "reality". But what does it mean to be "correct" or "true"? Merely vague concepts ... their “reality” may all be a mirage. Can we consider them to simply be living in their own world, shaped by their beliefs?”
“Men will grant favours that you request for the benefit of a third person when they would not grant them if requested for your benefit.”
“Idle hands are the Devil’s best tools.”
“Reputation is not character. Reputation is what people are believed to be; character is what people are.”
“If you receive no pay except that which comes in your pay envelope, you are underdeveloped no matter how much that envelope contains.”
“The defeat that may seem to break your heart today will be but a ripple among the waves of other experiences in the ocean of your life further ahead.”
“The law of Nature is, Do the thing and you shall have the power; but they who do not the thing have not the power.”
Instead of saying to the world, “Show me the colour of your money and I will show you what I can do.” Reverse the rule and say, “Let me show you the colour of my service so that I may take a look at the colour of your money if you like my service.”
“We prefer honeyed words of flattery to those of cold, unbiased truth, wherein lies the weakest spot of the man-animal.”
“Men are still being crucified for the high crime of telling the truth.”
“We court flattery more than we do truth. I know, because I am human.”
“Instead of “quitting” the job because there were obstacles to master and difficulties to overcome, you should have faced the facts and then you would have known that life, itself, is just a long series of mastery of difficulties and obstacles.” -

-- William Durant
You don’t have to be a fantastic hero to do certain things – to compete. You can be just an ordinary chap, sufficiently motivated to reach challenging goals.
