LOVE these quotes!
All these quotes are inspirational and they are exactly what I needed to read in my current mood. Thank you for this.
I think I'll print this list out and hang it next to my computer.
sometimes all it takes is to read a list like this and realize that self-doubt and fear of failure is a human condition to be overcome. Great list!
Great quotes! Thanks for compiling this inspirational list!
Love these and especially #8. :)

A couple more to add:
"If you don't make mistakes, you're not trying hard enough."
"You will miss 100% of the shots you don't take."
