I love quotes and I thought it'd be cool if everyone posted their favorites whether or not they are related to swimming, motivational, inspirational, funny, etc.
"It is better to have swum and lost that it is to have ever been a cheerleader."
"The view from the summit is worth the effort."
"Success is found in our daily routine."
"Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body but rather to skid in sideways totally worn out shouting, "Holy Sh*T what a ride!"
There are many others I will post when my eyes are more than 1/2 open...

"When the going gets tough, the sprinters get out!"
"You're biggest challenge isn't someone else. It's the ache in your lungs and the burning in your legs, and the voice in your head that yells 'CAN'T', but you don't listen. You just push harder. And then you hear that voice whisper, "can" and you discover that the person you thought you were is no match for the one you really are."
"Pride is holding your head up when everyone else around you has theirs bowed. Courage is what makes you do it."
"According to the laws of aerodynamics, the bumble bee cannot fly. Apparently, someone forgot to tell that to the bee. It makes me wonder what humans could do, if only we didn't know we weren't capable of it."
"Swimmers come, and swimmers go, but their hearts live forever."
"It's not how far you swim in practice, and it's not how fast you swim in practice; it's how far you swim fast in practice."
"It is better to have swum and lost, than to have ever been a cheerleader...." (Sorry)

My signature. I think SonicSwimmer78 said it. It was so good I had to steal it.
Oh, I thought of something else.
They say this about gymnastics, but I think it's appropriate for swimming.
"If it was easy, they'd call it football!"
