"Fight, fight, fight!" is my new favorite.
No one cares how much you know until they know how much you care. --Theodore Roosevelt
I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe. -- Marcus Cole, Babylon 5
"Life is 10% of What Happens to Me and 90% of How I React to It" - attributed to many different authors
But I also like @TxTomâs motivational quote above
The discord and division in our society must be healed. We must heal it quickly. As Americans we are bound together by a single fate and a shared destiny. We rise together or we fall apart.
Nothing motivates me more than getting a message that says heyyy
Unfortunately resilience matters the most in success and I don't know how to teach it to you except for I hope suffering happens to you.
-Jensen Huang (Nvidia founder)
Philippians 4:8-9
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthyâmeditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.
@lonelytauros I see what you did there đ I'll share a Haiku pair:
With age, a certain skill set: misplacing, dropping, forgetting, spilling.

So many of my motions are comical. Let the world, and me, laugh.
"Never give up, trust your instincts!" -Peppy Hare
"Do a barrel roll" isn't really motivating đ
âEvery day, in every way, I am getting better and better.â - Emile CouĂ©
That and Nike's "Just do it!"
Treat others, at all times, as though it's the last time you will see them.
Love fervently, frequently and fiercely (my own)
"Fight, fight, fight!"
That is more of an epizeuxis used by school kids during outbreaks of foolish violence in the hallways.
@Gwynne42 This is my favorite motivational speech from Teddy Roosevelt:
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat
Any Shakespear Mavens among us? The Henry V passage always gets my heart racing and blood boiling:
The St. Crispinâs Day speech from Henry V
by Private: William Shakespeare King Henry V: Whatâs he that wishes so? My cousin Westmoreland? No, my fair cousin: If we are markâd to die, we are enow To do our country loss; and if to live, The fewer men, the greater share of honour. Godâs will! I pray thee, wish not one man more. By Jove, I am not covetous for gold, Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost; It yearns me not if men my garments wear; Such outward things dwell not in my desires: But if it be a sin to covet honour, I am the most offending soul alive. No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England: Godâs peace! I would not lose so great an honour As one man more, methinks, would share from me For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more! Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host, That he which hath no stomach to this fight, Let him depart; his passport shall be made And crowns for convoy put into his purse: We would not die in that manâs company That fears his fellowship to die with us. This day is called the feast of Crispian: He that outlives this day, and comes safe home, Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named, And rouse him at the name of Crispian. He that shall live this day, and see old age, Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours, And say âTo-morrow is Saint Crispian:â Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars. And say âThese wounds I had on Crispinâs day.â Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot, But heâll remember with advantages What feats he did that day: then shall our names. Familiar in his mouth as household words Harry the king, Bedford and Exeter, Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester, Be in their flowing cups freshly rememberâd. This story shall the good man teach his son; And Crispin Crispian shall neâer go by, From this day to the ending of the world, But we in it shall be rememberâd; We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother; be he neâer so vile, This day shall gentle his condition: And gentlemen in England now a-bed Shall think themselves accursed they were not here, And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks That fought with us upon Saint Crispinâs day.

The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! So if you know what your worth then go out and get what your worth, but you gotta be willing to take the hits. And not pointing fingers and saying you ain't where you want to be because of him or her or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you! Your better than that! ROCKY BALBOA.
Pardon the vulgarity but I find comfort in this one: You can't polish a turd.

There are many but one that lingers around in my head the most is this one:
"YOU HAVE ALL THE WEAPONS YOU NEED...NOW FIGHT!"

@Katota I like your quote, too, because it's not an epizeuxis... although whomever said it probably hadn't just been shot by some fool.
" Nothing is impossible. The word itself says, i'm possible".
