Some of my favourite quotes come from Albert Einstein:
“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”
and
“I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.”
and
“Imagination is more important than knowledge.”
I like these quotes because they inspire me to imagine and try new things without fearing the outcome. Too often, people get in their bubble of comfort and miss out on amazing experiences because they are afraid or unimaginative. What do you think?
These are quotes that i have leaned except for 1.
1.”Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall”
2.” Friends are people you’d take a limo ride with but a true friend is the one that takes a cab home with you when the limo breaks down”.
To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there’s no music, no choreography, and
the dancers hit each other.
5.Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee π
6.”Forgive all who have offended you, not for them, but for yourself”.
I like these quotes because some are good humour that relate to what I do and also I think their things that some people should learn.
Great quotes! Please include the people who said the quotes.

and
If winning isn’t everything, why do they keep score?

I like this one because it is true, you do have to work hard to become a leader. You have to make good decisions.
Leaders aren’t born they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that’s the price we’ll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal.
Vince Lombardi
