I can't seem to find exactly what I need online (go figure?)
Examples:
Anyone can give up. You will succeed.
1 day as a Lion beats 100 years as a sheep.
Live for TODAY.
Why fear the unknown, when you can conquer it.
etc etc.
They have to be short, powerful, motivational, etc. Feel free to write your own if you don't know of any. No jokes though, please. Keep it serious like you want to give someone a kick in the pants to get off their butt and DO something with their lives.
I need about 75 of them.

A few I picked up in the Air Force: Cowards did not establish this nation, Cowards cannot preserve it. Pain is temporary, Pride is forever. Pain fades, Pride shines.Another favorite: "Many of life's greatest failures are men who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up" Thomas Edison

A wonderful old teacher of mine told me some that stuck to me: "The secret of success is to do it now." "You can fix it with duct tape and a hammer." "Life is too long to play it short."

' Capitalism...what is the point?' The fragile thing it is built on.' (inverted pyramid, for those who didn't get it
)
Socialism is self-defeating. It kills Society'
'What lies between Capitalism and Socialism?' Politicians. (play on the word lies
)
Independence: we don't depend upon it enough!
Cleanliness used to be next to Godliness...it is rapidly being replaced by Celebrities.

What do you want your very last thought in this life to be?
All men die. Few men really ever live.
You get what you think about, not what you want. So think about what you want.
All stress is a result of the mind resisting life.
Resentment is nothing more than wishing for a different past.

"It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of Sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion."
We Fremen have a saying: "God created Arakis to train the faithful." One cannot go against the word of God.

If its got tits or tyres, it's trouble.
Not very motivational though is it.
Ok lets rewrite it.
If its got tits or tyres, its worth chasing if you want trouble.

Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try. Nothing is impossible...only very very improbable.

"GET OUT OF BED AND GO FIND A JOB!!!" "Honey, I'm late." "You're under arrest for DUI." Those are the lines I remember that changed my motivation in life The not so funny or funny thing is I heard them in that order, but not on the same day.
