Funny Quotes about Beaten

If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don't.

But soon or late the man who wins is the one who thinks he can.

Repetition can be a choice, but often it isn't.

day after day, year after year, has their eye on a goal.

Observe the morning commute, the after-work drink,
the Sunday football game or religious service -
how many of those people are consciously following their dream,
training their mind, body, and spirit through that daily repetition?
And how many are mindlessly slogging through each day
out of habit and boredom?

She will seldom counsel you to do a shabby thing:
for a woman friend always desires to be proud of you.
