“I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.”
William Penn ~ 1644-1718, Religious Leader and founder of Pennsylvania

Life may be too short, but you can pack a huge amount of good things into it if you try. It’s got nothing to do with age and everything to do with your attitude.
“The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.” ~ Author unknown

I am looking for a lot of men who have an infinite capacity to not know what cannot be done. ~ Henry Ford

Let me have any other ‘cannot be done’ quotes.(Don’t tell me it cannot be done!)
10. This is my body, and I can do whatever I want to it. I can push it; Study it; Tweak it; Listen to it. Everybody wants to know what I am on. What am I on? I am on my bike busting my ass six hours a day; What are YOU on?
9. Without the illness I would never have been forced to re-evaluate my life and my career. I know if I had not had cancer, I would not have won the Tour de France.
8. Through my illness I learned rejection. I was written off. That was the moment I thought, Okay, game on. No prisoners. Everybody’s going down
7. I figure the faster I pedal, the faster I can retire.
6. If children have the ability to ignore all odds and percentages, then maybe we can all learn from them. When you think about it, what other choice is there but to hope? We have two options, medically and emotionally: give up, or Fight Like Hell.
1
5. Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.
4. Anything is possible. You can be told that you have a 90-percent chance or a 50-percent chance or a 1-percent chance, but you have to believe, and you have to fight.
3. I’m sorry for you, … I’m sorry you don’t believe in miracles.
2. What ever your 100% looks like, give it.
1. Two things scare me. The first is getting hurt. But that’s not nearly as scary as the second, which is losing.
“Failure? I never encountered it. All I ever met were temporary setbacks.”
Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grieves which we endure help us in our marching onward. ~ Henry Ford
Here’s a few of my favourite ‘reject rejection’ quotes…
A rejection is nothing more than a necessary step in the pursuit of success.
Bo Bennett
Don’t let anyone, or any rejection, keep you from what you want.
Ashley Tisdale
I had immediate success in the sense that I sold something right off the bat. I thought it was going to be a piece of cake and it really wasn’t. I have drawers full of – or I did have – drawers full of rejection slips.
Fred Saberhagen (I can tell you when I first started cartooning I didn’t sell anything ‘right off the bat’ it took me months and months to sell my first cartoon – but I worked on my craft in those months until my ideas/artwork were acceptable. I became much stronger as a person as well!)
Practice, practice, practice until you eventually get numb on rejections – reject rejection!
When commissioning cartoons… Pick TWO of the three options!
Good+Fast = Expensive Choose this and I’ll postpone every other project on my drawing board, my round of golf or give up my footy match ticket and work day and night to get your job done. It WILL NOT BE CHEAP though!
Good+Cheap = Slow Choose good and cheap and I’ll still do a great job at a discounted price. But you’ll have to be patient while I fit you in after my higher paying clients, updating my web site, going down the gym, my footy matches, rounds of golf and liquid lunches!
Fast+Cheap = Inferior Choose this option at your peril. It will still be delivered on time but it will be inferior, as many corners as possible will be cut. You know the saying ‘You get what you pay for!’ The least favorable option in my opinion!
