Those little sayings that hit home

A black belt is a white belt that never quit. ~school saying

Resolution is null if it disappears in the face of adversity.

Be yourself... it's something no one else can do.

The three most powerful words.... YES I CAN!!!

My submission:

It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt. - Mark Twain

 

[Skip Cooper]

"Practice does not make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect."

"Wisdom is the willingness to learn from experience."

"I'd rather live on my knees than die on my feet."

Uh, wait a minute. I'm not so sure about that last one...

Was that last one on purpose? That version doesn't really instill a fighting spirit does it?

A black belt is a white belt that never quit. ~school saying

Yes, I like this one. I have told this to my students for more than two decades, and it still holds true.

Resolution is null if it disappears in the face of adversity.

Try telling this one to the UN!

Be yourself... it's something no one else can do.

Hear, hear!

The three most powerful words.... YES I CAN!!!

And the three most satisfying words are.... "I DID IT!!!"
