I dream:

Of a world without violence. A world without war, weapons and guns, where people could co-exist peacefully. A world of prosperity, full wonderful cars, money and jewelry for all to share.

I also dream:
Of arming my friends to the teeth and invading such a world of defenseless pansies.  Just think of all the wonderful cars, money and jewelry we could take.

“We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible.” -Vince Lombardi

“You do not belong to you. You belong to the universe. The significance of you will remain forever a mystery to you, but you may assume you are fulfilling your significance if you apply yourself to converting all your experience to the highest advantage of others.” - R. Buckminster Fuller

At the peak of tremendous and victorious effort, while the blood is pounding in your head, all suddenly becomes quiet within you. Everything seems clearer and whiter than ever before, as if great spotlights had been turned on. At that moment, you have the conviction that you contain all the power in the world, that you are capable of everything, that you have wings. There is no more precious moment in life than this, the white moment, and you will work very hard for years just to taste it again.—Yuri Vlasov, Soviet Weightlifter

Hey Becca - is it a sign you’re getting old when you start repeating yourself in forum threads?

Oh geez, I’m totally senile already!  It’s like you and the magazines!!! lol!

I am a member of a team, and I rely on the team, I defer to it and sacrifice for it, because the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion.

He that will believe only what he can fully comprehend must have a long head or a very short creed.

I liked this graphic…

“Success is going from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm.” -Abraham Lincoln

“The truth is that life is hard and dangerous;
that he who seeks his own happiness does not find it;
that he who is weak must suffer;
that he who demands love, will be disappointed;
that he who is greedy, will not be fed;
that he who seeks peace, will find strife;
that truth is only for the brave;
that joy is only for him who does not fear to be alone;
that life is only for the one who is not afraid to die.”

-Joyce Carey

“Ordinary people believe only in the possible. Extraordinary people visualize not what is possible or probable, but rather what is impossible. And by visualizing the impossible, they begin to see it as possible.” - Cherie Carter-Scott

Didn’t hear it, but read it on another site and I think it’s AWESOME!!!

There are no shortcuts. The fact that a shortcut is important to you means that you are a pussy. Let me be clear here: if you’d rather take steroids than do your squats heavy and drink enough milk, then you are a ****ing Pussy. I have no time or patience for ****ing Pussies. Please tell everyone you know that I said this

Accumulating injuries are the price we pay for the thrill of not having sat around on our asses.

LOL - Coach Rip has THE best sense of humor!  There’s a whole thread of crazy Rip Quotations on the CrossFit.com forums somewhere.
