I created this topic so that we can post our favorite inspirational quotes.

You can use these quotes if you have made some bad trades and need to get your head back in the game.

I should warn you that I am a big fan of Henry David Thoreau and his old friend Ralph Waldo Emerson, so you will see me post a lot of their stuff.

Henry David Thoreau
