Here are a few serious motivational quotes that I love--
"If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way." ~~Martin Luther King Jr.
"They may forget your name but they will never forget the way you made them feel."
~~Maya Angelou
"As it turns out, I haven't saved the world. I've had a hand in saving some lives and have, I hope, made small differences in the lives of many. Occasionally, patients express their gratitude. some send us cards, some leave us chocolate. But external validation, the adoration and accolades of others, can't sufficiently make my job feel worth it. My job is worth it because I go home, on most days, with the feeling that I've at least broken even--I've put back at least as much as I've withdrawn from the karmic bank. It's a blessing in my life that I've been given the opportunity to be useful in my corner of the world. Today, that's enough for me." ~~I Wasn't Strong Like This When I Started Out: true stories of becoming a nurse by Lee Gutkind
And a funny motivational quote!! "Always give 100%....unless you're giving blood."
The last three or four reps is what makes the muscle grow. This area of pain divides the champion from someone else who is not a champion. That's what most people lack, having the guts to go on and just say they'll go through the pain no matter what happens.
-Arnold Schwarzenegger
The difference between the general nurse and those that push through and do more

Meant more for self-motivation, but it's one that has stuck with me. I try to use it with patients by just attempting to make it a positive interaction with them (doesn't always work, but I try)
