What are some good inspirational quotes for teens? I’m looking for some, that are not too long, and are relatable to teens, and not difficult to comprehend. I have a summer school class assignment where you are supposed to pick a quote, and then write a song about the same central theme. It suppose to be relatable to people around your age group.

"Do what you feel in your heart to be right-for you’ll be criticized anyway. You’ll be damned if you do, and damned if you don’t."
-Eleanor Roosevelt

"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent"
-Eleanor Roosevelt

*If you dont know where you’re going every road will take you there.

*Don’t let what you can’t do stop you from doing what you can do.

*You can never cross the ocean unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.

*Courage is the discovery that you may not win, but trying when you know you can lose.

*Sucess is a journey, not a destination.

*Losing isn’t getting knocked down. Losing is not getting back up.

*Life is black and white, its up to you to paint the colours.

*If you don’t learn from your mistakes, there’s no sense making them.

*We are like tea-bags. You don’t know you’re own strength til your in hot water.

*A life lived in fear is half lived.

"if today were perfect there would be no need for tomorrow"

"one’s best success comes after their disappointments"

"life isn’t about finding yourself its about creating yourself"

"the greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say they can’t do"

I need to add a good meaningful quote into a speech i am making but can't quite find the right sort of quote to put in. It needs to be a quote that shows youths in a good positive light.

I'm suffering from an addiction I'm trying to break, sometimes I need a little motivation when it feels impossible to get through. Have any good, famous quotes that I can look at?
Nothing religious for crying out loud.

Othello,

Wow, good luck to you. Here's a couple of inspirational quotations that have helped me keep going:

1. "The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." –Nelson Mandela

2. "For everyone who thought I couldn’t do it. For everyone who thought I shouldn’t do it. For everyone who said, ‘It’s impossible.’ See you at the finish line."

–From the sign on the wall of the late Christopher Reeve's exercise room where he did his daily physical therapy after being paralyzed from the neck down in a horse riding accident

“There's nothing that cleanses your soul like getting the hell kicked out of you.”
“I've had smarter people around me all my life, but I haven't run into one yet that can outwork me. And if they can't outwork you, then smarts aren't going to do them much good. That's just the way it is. And if you believe that and live by it, you'd be surprised at how much fun you can have.”
“The minute I think I'm getting mellow, I'm retiring. Who ever heard of a mellow winner?”

For it has been said so truthfully that it is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the agitator, who has given us the freedom to protest. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, serves beneath the flag, whose coffin is draped by the flag, who gives that protester the freedom to abuse and burn that flag. Zell Miller

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. Eleanor Roosevelt

Do what you feel in your heart to be right - for you'll be criticized anyway. Eleanor Roosevelt

Life is
the only chance you get,
how you live it,
what you take from it,
how much you give back,
a joy and a heartbreak,
doing the best with what you have,
loving with all of your heart,
treating all forms of it with respect,
and a wondrous beautiful mystery. C.Yost

I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones. Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)

"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated." Gandhi

Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heart beat, or will stay awake to watch you sleep, wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you're just in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends. Who thinks that you're just as pretty without make-up on, one who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have you…The one who turns to his friends with a smile and says, "She's the one!" Unknown

No one in the world needs a mink coat but a mink. Murray Banks

Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you. Ralph Waldo Emerson

"If you look at what you do not have in life;you don't have anything. If you look at what you have in life; you have everything." Unknown

I need quotes about women in sports, why the discrimination against them etc ?

Posted on June 13th, 2009 by admin

Filed under sports quotes | 3 Comments »

This is for my PED exam

When CBS and ESPN covered the 1989 college basketball championships, commentators and graphics referred to the men's events as "The Final Four" and "The NCAA National Championship Game," while viewers were constantly reminded that they were watching the "Women's Final Four" and the "NCAA Women's National Championship Game." This presentation of women's games as derivative of a male standard signaled a consistent presentation of female athletics as inferior, according to a study of sports journalism sponsored by the Amateur Athletic Foundation of Los Angeles…Margaret Carlisle Duncan

“People said women couldn’t swim the Channel but I proved they could.” Gertrude Ederle

“As women we’re not supposed to cross that line. We are told this is a mans sport. I want to tell them that hey, I can play this game. Without this league I would have nowhere to play. This is history in the making. It’s a once in a lifetime thing. I don’t need to play overseas. I can play right here in my own country and get paid for it.” Reebok commercial- Rebecca Roundtree (WNBA)

“Sports… It’s a very powerful social change tool because it teaches women confidence, self esteem and strength. It changes them. It’s part of the reason that the guys wanted women out of sports for a very long time.” Donna Lopiano, former Executive Director of the Women’s Sports Foundation

“These athletes serve as role models. Women need role models. They need to see other women in leadership roles that excelled in sport. It is through these role models that younger women develop a healthy understanding of their own potential.” Donna Lopiano, former Executive Director of the Women’s Sports Foundation

“I won my first race. Right away, I noticed that whole boy/girl thing. I remember there was alot of teasing going on amoungst the other boys in my class. There was that whole you got beat by a girl thing. It really upset me because I’ve always considered myself, and still do consider myself just another rider.” Cathy Templeton - AMA Pro Hillclimber

“As of 1997, I am the first ever female AMA pro hillclimb racer. “I’m rather excited by all the attention I am getting because of this, but I’m also a little dissapointed that it has taken so long for women to step into this position. Cathy Templeton - AMA Pro Hillclimber

“It is not strictly an issue of gender equality, it is one of social responsibility.” Elaine Ruff - Acerbis/WML

"The reason for recruiting more female leaders and coaches in sports is not necessarily because women are better qualified. (In the main, they are probably not). But a large number of highly-qualified women are simply not being recognised for their abilities and, therefore, cannot contribute positively to the development of sports. To pretend such women do not exist is not only discrimination in its crudest form, not only demeaning to the sex but goes against everything the "fair play" motto in sports stands for." Al-Ahram Weekly On-line

In 1972, Title IX was passed stating that gender-based discrimination was no longer allowed in college athletics and academics. Over the past thirty years, women have been continuously striving for equality in college sports. Through various types of media, women were portrayed as unladylike if they wanted to participate in any kind of collegiate sport. The views of women from both society and the media have vastly improved over the years. However, there is still room for improvement." Christie Lockman

At our institution we've got 28 spots for baseball and, maybe, 40 guys think they can play baseball — because they've been told that all along. OK, I've got 20-25 women trying to get 22 softball spots. That's because society hasn't pushed them in the same direction. Women tend to not get involved unless they think they can contribute. We need to teach women how to play roles in sports and how to play on teams." Marilyn McNeil, athletics director of Monmouth University West Long Branch, N.J., chairwoman of the NCAA committee on women's athletics.
