"Every job is a self-portrait of the person who did it. Autograph your work with quality."

(I have no idea who said it...but it is on a poster here in our office...and it really makes me think everytime I read it...am I proud enough of my work to put my name on it?)

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." - Teddy Roosevelt

I don`t know about you, but I like a lot of quotes that Oprah has said! She has a lot to say about opportunities, life, love, work, friends- just about any subject it seems. Maybe check out some of her quotes and see what you like. here`s a link to a site with a lot of her quotes- http://www.allgreatquotes.com/oprah_winfrey_quotes.shtml
