I am also looking for some good inspirational quotes. This is one that I came across this morning.

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.

~Dr. Seuss

Here are a few quotes I found:

Harriet Beecher Stowe:
"When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn."

"You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there."

Mark Twain:
"Habit is habit and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs a step at a time."

"Instead of giving myself reasons why I can't, I give myself reasons why I can."

Thomas Fuller:
"That which is bitter to endure may be sweet to remember."

My new favorite saying is a quote from a DS friend: Good night, sleep tight. Don't let the binge bugs bite!"

How about Dorothy Parker's "You can never be too rich or too thin." I wouldn't know if it's accurate though since I've never been either.:-))

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for you: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

II Corinthians 12:9

Even when we are weak and slip His power is still upon us. Do not beat yourself up. Pick up, move on, be brave and live in the light....
*******************************************************
This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us - whatever we ask - we know that we have what we asked of Him.

1 John 5:14-15

Is it not God's will that we be happy and healthy? Is it not His will that we bring glory to Him and become a blessing to others? This journey will not be hard with Him by our side....
*******************************************************
Even so faith, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

James 2:17

We have faith that with God we will overcome our addictions, sadness, lonliness, shame, and guilt...but if we do not act (moving more, eating less, etc.) we will not suceed....

And then the day came, when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

- Anais Nin, Danish diaris

Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.

- Goethe

Treat the Earth well. It was not given to you by your parents. It was loaned to you by your children.

- Kenyan proverb

If it is to be, it is up to me.

- Author Unknown

Never look down on anybody unless you are helping him up.

- Jesse Jackson
