Inspirational Quotes
A lot of people on SR have quotes in their signatures and upon joining, I came across the quote below:
The Devil whispered in my ear
"You're not strong enough to withstand the storm"
Today I whispered in the devil's ear "I am the Storm"
I would just like to say that this quote really resonated with me and to thank the original poster for touching me deeply. I read it every day and it strengthens me.
I just wondered, would anyone else out there like to share any other quotes that have in the past, or continue to, inspire them?

My favorite (I have a plaque of it):
It is never too late to be what you might have been.
-George Eliot-
On a side note:
I've recently allowed myself 2 pieces of Dove's dark chocolate w/almonds a day & have accumulated their wrappers with their quotes inside. This afternoon's was ~ "When life isn't going right, go left.".
It is never too late to be what you might have been.

"Discipline equals freedom" Jocko Willink.
It struck the cord when I first heard it about two years ago.
I got it.
I think if I came across it, say, 6 years ago, before getting sober, I would resent it.
It took lots of internal work to see discipline not as restriction, but as support framework for everyday life which helps me to live life on my terms as much as it's possible.
