Short quotes that speak volumes.

Hard times don't build character. They reveal it.

Character is what you do when no one is looking.

There is no such thing as can't. Only won't.
I like that. Much better and more accurate than that usual clichéd saying about “hard times”, which is more than a bit fascistic. 🍻
 
“All you can do is all you can do, and all you can do is enough.”

“Better to be pissed off than pissed on.”

“Any port in a storm.”

“Take 2 tablespoons of concrete and harden the f*ćk up.”

In regards to a suck fest on a mountain-
“All it is, is time and elevation.” -me probably
 
I like brief quotes that encapsulate much wisdom in a few words. This world is full of too many folks that talk a great deal but say very little. On the other hand we have plenty of people that seem to be intently listening but truly hear very little. I suspect both groups suffer due to excessive human noise disguised as conversation.

I find that a short powerful phrase can be much more meaningful and thought provoking than an avalanche of words which carry no significance.

Tell me some of your favorite quotes-here is one of mine.

I always say, you heard everything I said, but didn't listen to a single word. Hearing is hearing, listening is hearing and understanding.

Luck is preparation meeting opportunity.

Lack of opportunity is usually nothing more than a lack of a sense of purpose or direction.

Don‘t lie, don’t cheat, don’t steal; always do your best; and never ever give up.
 
As a less then energetic friend once said, never do today, that which can be put off until tomorrow.
