I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
~Bene Gesserit Littany Against Fear
From: "Dune" by Frank Herbert

Some great ones from one of my favorite coaches: Vincent Lombardi
"Dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you're willing to pay the price."
"Confidence is contagious. So is lack of confidence."
"Fatigue makes cowards of us all."
"If it doesn't matter who wins or loses, then why do they keep score?"
"If you can accept losing you can't win. If you can walk you can run. No one is ever hurt. Hurt is in your mind."
"Individual commitment to a group effort - that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work."
"Leaders aren't born they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that's the price we'll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal."
"It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up."
"Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster man. But sooner or later the man who wins, is the man who thinks he can."
"Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit."
"Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser."
"The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will." (My favorite of all of them)
"The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor."
"The leader can never close the gap between himself and the group. If he does, he is no longer what he must be. He must walk a tightrope between the consent he must win and the control he must exert."
I could go on and on and on with these.

From one of my favorite 'mean' sensei's always during the most grueling portion of his classes.
"This is all about mind over matter. I don't mind..and you don't matter."
Ichi!
Brings back painful memories.
