Inspirational Quotations, Musings, And Lines From Star Wars

As you get older you find that sometimes you need a little bit of a boost.  The drudgery of daily routine can put you into a bit of a funk and it is important to find your way out of it quickly.  One way to do this taking an hour and locking yourself in the basement or garage and releasing all of your stress and aggression on a piñata that looks like Tobey Maguire.  Why Tobey Maguire?  He knows...he knows.  Another less violent (and arguably less fun) way is to uplift yourself with an inspirational quote.  Here are a few that have gotten me through the grind over the years.  I have also included some that I thought of myself.  And by that I mean weird things that popped into my head after eating spicy meat late at night.

You know, there's a million fine looking women in the world, dude. But they don't all bring you lasagna at work.

And by that I mean weird things that popped into my head after eating spicy meat late at night.

So there you have it, tiny little lessons to get you through it.  As I look over this list of infinite knowledge I can't help but think that the Tobey Maguire piñata is a much better idea after all.
