This is one of my favorite ones from the Demotivator series:

"When you wish upon a falling star, your dreams can come true. Unless it's really a meteorite hurtling to the Earth which will destroy all life. Then you're pretty much hossed no matter what you wish for. Unless it's death by a meteor."

Put your big girl panties on and deal with it - some t-shirt I saw

Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive- Elbert Hubbard

A woman broke up with me and sent me pictures of her and her new boyfriend in bed together. Solution?? I sent them to her dad--Christopher

In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on." -Robert Frost

How do you tell a friend from a best friend? A friend will bail you out of jail at 2 A.M. A best friend will be sitting next to you saying "Damn that was fun."

Marriage is when a man and woman become as one; the trouble starts when they try to decide which one."

Procrastination is like masturbation: seems like fun at the time, but in the end you're just screwing yourself

"The most audacious thing I could possibly state in this day and age is that life is worth living. It's worth being bashed against. It's worth getting scarred by. It's worth pouring yourself over every one of its hot coals." - Jeff Buckley

"Be seriously involved with growing,with true development, and never fear. Be the kind of person who is naturally powerful, positive, ingenius, open to the highest degree, but with no interest in coercion or pressure or power over other people. That kind of power is hollow. It contains nothing and brings you nothing in the long run. BE THE BEST. NO NEGATIVITY, NO WEAKNESS, NO ACQUIESCENCE TO FEAR OR DISASTER, NO ERRORS OF IGNORANCE, NO EVASION FROM REALITY." - Jeff Buckley

Similar to "There is a tool for every job and that tool is a hammer" - No Idea where that came from, so Ann.

Hardly motivational but I like "If at first you don't succed, destroy all evidence that you tried".

"Are you just living to die, or are you dying to live?" -Spitalfield

"Music is the best friend you can ever have. It'll never steal your girlfriend, never steal your money or your car and it's always there for you whenever you're in need" -Will Franco of Aiden

"Do what will make you happy
Do what you feel is right
Only but one thing matters
Learn how to live your life"

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -I'm not sure who said this one

From Yorkshire -

"If tha wonts owt doin, doit thi sen!" - translated to "If you want anything doing then do it yourself"

"weer thes muck thes brass" - translated to "Where the work is dirty ther is money to be made"

"Hear all, see all, say nowt. Eyt all, sup all, pay nowt and if tha ever does owt for nowt allus do it for thi sen" - translated to "Hear all, see all, say nothing. Eat all, drink all, pay for nothing and if you ever do anything for nothing do it for yourself"

"If is brains were dynamite they wunt blow is cap off"

and one last one for the photoshop people:

"A photographer up t'hi street advertised that he could retouch phtographs.
So in walks this woman with a picture of 'er departed husband.
I'd like this 'eer photo retouched, and while yer at it remove his 'at. I nivver did like that 'at.
Aye said t'photographer chap. Now just before you go missus I must know which side he parted his hair.
E by gum lad, you must think I am reight daft, you'll find that out when you take his 'at off"
