      Great quotes!

      Regarding the Henry Ford quote, I think the exact quote is actually “Whether you think you can or can’t, you’re right.” and the sentence “It’s your thinking that decides whether you´re going to succeed or fail” was actually an explanation by Sarah about that quote.

      I may be wrong, but maybe Sarah could clear it up.

      Thanks for the quotes. Awesome inspiration.

      No one can tell who said this one:

      “Difficulties exist only in imagination”

      Anyone up for a guess?

      My favourite is: “I’m sorry I written such a long letter, I didn’t have time to write a short one.” Various people seem to have said this, so not sure who to attribute it to.

      Great quotes! Nabeel is right about the Henry ford quote, it goes like this ” “Whether you think you can or can’t, you’re right.”
      The other quotes about the rocking chair is sooo true, worrying is useless. I have to remember that myself.

      My favorite is:

      Do not follow where the path may lead.
      Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
