Quotes required!

[Brettus]

Right, I'm now 9 working days from the end of a 18 month ERP implementation and in the final 10 days I've been writing quotes along with the countdown.
Today it was:
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/20/a8ujavej.jpg
10 days was from starship troopers "C'mon you apes! You wanna live forever?!"

Tomorrow my favourite this far is "you want the truth? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!"

Any suggestions for time sensitive or inspirational quotes that may be applicable welcomed.

Last day might have to be this:
Nelson Mandela: “It always seems impossible until it's done.”

Have at it :-)

nice google fu. Didn't think the full quote was appropriate

[Bluepete]

The Man in the Arena.


It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

You would touch with your fingers the naked body of your dreams."
