    “Champions aren't made in gyms.
    Champions are made from
    something they have deep inside
    them-a desire, a dream, a vision.
    They have to have the skill, and the
    will. But the will must be stronger
    than the skill.”
    ― Muhammad Ali

    -Batman



    "He's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight."
    -James Gordon



    Prisoner: "You are in hell, little man!"

    “Though much is taken, much abides; and though
    We are not now that strength which in old days
    Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
    One equal temper of heroic hearts,
    Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
    To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”
    -Alfred Tennyson


    "The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me or nobody is going to hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you're hit, it is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much can you take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!"
    -Rocky Balboa


    "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts."

    @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 Must have read that quote 50 times this week, totally inspirational.

    "The world ain't all sunshine and
    rainbows. It is a very mean and
    nasty place It will beat you to
    your knees and keep you there
    permanently if you let it. You,
    me or nobody is going to hit as
    hard as life. But it ain't about
    how hard you're hit, it is about
    how hard you can get hit and
    keep moving forward, how much
    can you take and keep moving
    forward. That's how winning is
    done!"

    "Just because you sell loads of records, it doesn't mean you're any good. Look at Phil Collins"

    -Noel Gallagher.

    Sam Tyler: You know nothing about football! I used to go to football with my dad. United and City fans used to walk to the match together. Our next door neighbour, he had a City flag up in his window. Kids used to play together in the street - red and blue. But then people like you came along and you took it away from us.

    Peter Bond: A good punch up's all part of the game! It's about pride. Pride in your team. Being the best!

    Sam Tyler: No it isn't! This is how it starts and then it escalates. It gets on the telly and in the press, and then other fans from other clubs start trying to out do each other. And then it becomes about hate! And then it's nothing to do with football any more! It's about gangs and scumbags like you roaming the country seeing who can cause the most trouble. And then we overreact, and we have to put up perimeter fences and we treat the fans like animals! Forty, fifty thousand people herded into pens! And then how long before something happens, eh? How long before something terrible happens and we are dragging bodies out?

    To put it in context: In Life On Mars, Sam Tyler is a DI in 2006 who gets hit by a car and wakes up in 1973. He was referring to the Hillsborough disaster at the end of the quote.

    And one of the most inspirational quotes of all time.

    "This time next year Rodney, we'll be millionaires!"

    Derek Trotter.

    Strength does not come from
    winning. Your struggles develop your
    strengths. When you go through
    hardships and decide not to
    surrender, that is strength.

    "Y'all got on this boat for different reasons, but y'all come to the same place. So now I'm asking more of you than I have before. Maybe all. Sure as I know anything, I know this - they will try again. Maybe on another world, maybe on this very ground swept clean. A year from now, ten? They'll swing back to the belief that they can make people... better. And I do not hold to that.
    So no more runnin'.
    I aim to misbehave."

    -Malcolm Reynolds

    The film Good Will Hunting is one of the most inspirational I will ever see in my life (with some of the best dialogue/quotes out there), but I don't want to post any lines from it here because it would be more special if those that haven't seen the film watched it fresh and unspoiled. It truly is a powerful experience.

    I find David Lynch eminently quotable. One of my favourites being -

    'We think we understand the rules as adults, but what we really experience is a narrowing of the imagination'.

    Lynch is one of the directors I will be excited to get into somewhere down the line.

    "Then after that I just stopped worrying about stuff. You only get one go round, I reckon. When you're dead, you're dead. So you can spend your time thinking about how things haven't been perfect, or you can just get on with it, have a laugh and that. That's what I do, I'm pretty happy"

    "The best way to get anywhere - is to start from where you are"

    Hard to argue.

    Only I can't remember who said it. Just some wise words I remember reading from years back

    "Get busy living, or get busy dying" - another worthwhile quote, this time from The Shawshank Redemption movie
