Okay, so I'm a sucker for a good motivational quote/lyric/whatever
I collect them, sadly
(as well as recipes... but let's not go there).
There are so many ladies in this forum, and if some of these speak to just one of you, then I'm glad I posted
I will keep adding more as I come across them... if you have any of your own please share!! 
"Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all."
~Dale Carnegie
"Hope is the only bee that makes honey without flowers."

~Robert Louis Stevenson
Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use.
~Earl Nightingale
The future is literally in our hands to mold as we like. But we cannot wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow is now.

I can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses. It's all how you look at it.
~J. Kenfield Morley
Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don’t wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it’s at work or with your family.
