While not necessarily motivational, the quotes in my signature are nice summaries of our lifestyle.

hey bigguns, you're stronger in bench than 99% of guys in my gym.
But back to quotes, all the quotes by Arnold and in pumping iron I consider to be motivational.
"Milk is for babies, real men drink beer"
"Shut the fuck up and squat"
"ARE YOU SATISFIED!?!?!"

It is funny how many things that are ridicilous to regular people make up our lifestyle.
Bigguns, here are a few of my favorites:
"Strong people do one simple thing: win, lose, or draw, they get back up. They get the fuck back up."
- John C. Roat, Class 29, Navy SEAL
"Pain is weakness leaving your body."
"Obsessed is the word the lazy use to describe the dedicated."
"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat." Theodore Roosevelt
...and for general life, training, everything...the end all be all...my all time favorite quote:
"It ain't that people don't know so much, it's that they know so much that ain't so." -Mark Twain

I saw this on someone's sig a few months back and added it to mine...
"DIE HARD...DIE STRONG...DIANABOL"
"DIE HARD...DIE STRONG...DIANABOL"
Here's a couple sorry if I repeated any already used on your site.
"Mediocrity is climbing molehills without sweating"
"Nothing tastes as good as looking good feels."
"You don't lose if you get knocked down, you lose if you stay down."
"If you don't know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else."
"The most essential factor is persistence - the determination never to allow your energy or enthusiasm to be dampened by the discouragement that must inevitably come."
A couple others, not motivational though, just ones I like.
"My theory is that if you look confident you can pull off anything - even if you have no clue what you're doing."
"Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society." -Twain
"You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take."

"What does not kill me makes me stronger"
Friedrich Nietzsche
If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place.
Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.
John Wooden
The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do itas long as you really believe 100 percent.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear not absence of fear.
Mark Twain
The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.
Vincent T. Lombardi

"I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs but how high he bounces when he hits bottom."--- General George S. Patton
"Accept challenges, so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory." --- General George S. Patton
"If a man does his best, what else is there?" --- General George S. Patton
"I don't fear failure. I only fear the slowing up of the engine inside of me which is pounding, saying, "Keep going, someone must be on top, why not you?" --- General George S. Patton

How 'bout this one:
Press On
Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

"Beer is your friend"...kidding 
(but it is!!!)
My signature and then here's others:
"Don't associate with lowly qualities. Don't consort with heedlessness. Don't associate with wrong views. Don't busy yourself with the world. Get up!"
"Hard work always yields profit, idle talk brings only want"
"Even when you are aspiring to the highest place, it is honorable to reach the second or even the third rank." Cicero
One last one:
"Experience is not what happnes to a person, it is what that person does with what happens to them. "

Try not, Do or Do not there is no try. -Yoda
Yours is what you make of it.
The measure of a man isn't how tall he is when he gets knocked down, it's how tall he is when he gets back up.
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. -Chuchill
Blood makes the grass grow.
Cattle die, Kinsmen die, the self must die, but glory never dies for the man that achieves it. Cattle die, kinsmen die, the self must die, but I know one thing that never dies the reputation if each dead man. -Odin, sayings of the high one.
The last one I have tattooed in runes around my right leg.
If I come up with some more I'll post them,
Cheers,

I have always liked these:
"When Vince Lombardi told you to sit down, you didn't look for a chair."--One of Lombardi's player at Green Bay
"We will carve out the enemy's living guts and use them to lube the treads on our tanks."--Patton
"All the health nuts will feel really stupid when the day comes that they are in the hospital dying of nothing."--Redd Foxx

this was off the cover of a Sevendust album.
"I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war, that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood will never become a reality"
this quote is so true that it makes me mad , and it motivates me to become a better person.
