I've always been a fan of "failure is not an option," spoken by Gene Kranz. This pretty much embodies the spirit of NASA in the 1960's. Despite technological problems, the Apollo 1 fire, being behind the Russians initially, etc., NASA poured its heart and soul into the Apollo program and got the job done. I can't STAND failure, so this quote describes the way I feel towards my day-to-day challenges.
[edit]Heh, I just noticed that it's in my sig (I'm usually just a forum observer). You can see that it's certainly meant a lot to me.
