An old teacher of mine (Mr. Walters, Grunter) in Penlan Finishing School for young gentlemen had this saying;
Better late than never, but better never late.
Not motivational but something that stuck with me for the last 56 years.

This John Sparkes 'Siadwell' piece is the complete opposite of this thread but has always made me titter..

"They said to me 'Siadwell, go for it...!'"

I went for 'it'...

'It' had gone....

Great school/concentration camp! My fave was Mr Stanley Harold “Right, right, right” Mugford (as my ‘tag’ implies). Not much of a motivational quote but “I am the Greatest!” Just before punching the Head Master out was a classic! Quite motivating actually…

Ah, old Grunter, after throwing a bunsen burner at me for trying to sneak my coat into his class, took me under his wing and really got me interested in Chemistry. Basically by scaring me into it. He was a very decent bloke beneath the blustering topsoil. The quote that sticks in my mind from him though was, "West, boy, why don't you go to New Zealand and live with the Mammaries". I mean, WTF? (I'd better clarify, I wasn't the West in question, no one deserves to be him).

Oh hang on, motivation, from the same golden Penlan era, Titch Evans at O Level..."if you all work really really hard and do everything I say, you might get a C"

Not so much motivational, but a little life rule I once read in a book and have never forgotten:

Never underestimate your ability to change
Never overestimate your ability to change other people
