Sometimes you just need inspriation

[Zahboo]

So some days, life sucks. Let's face it. Some days are slow, some days go by too fast. Life's too short, arguments too long. So I figured, have an inspirational quote thread. Just some of your favorite quotes.


Mine are from Secondhand Lion, and are said by Uncle Hub McCan

Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things that a man needs to believe in the most: that people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; that love, true love, never dies... No matter if they're true or not, a man should believe in those things because those are the things worth believing in.

I’m Hub McCann. I’ve fought in two world wars, and countless smaller ones on three continents. I’ve led thousands of men into battle with everything from horses and swords to artillery and tanks. I’ve seen the headwaters of the Nile and tribes of natives no white men had ever seen before. I’ve won and lost a dozen fortunes, killed many men, and loved only one woman with a passion a flea like you could never begin to understand. That’s who I am.
