Inspirational Quotes

1)Eleanor Roosevelt:

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent

Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.

2)Steve Jobs:

Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

Here’s to the crazy ones — the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things. They push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.

3)Viktor Frankl:

…Everything can be taken from a man but one thing; the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.

4)Rumi:

Why are you so enchanted by this world, when a mine of gold lies within you? ~Rumi

Very little grows on jagged rock. Be ground. Be crumbled, so wildflowers will come up where you are. ~Rumi

5)Mark Twain

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do, so throw off the bowlines, sail away from safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails.  Explore, Dream, Discover.

6)Napoleon Hill

Don’t wait. The time will never be just right.

7)Stephen Covey

I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions

Motivation is a fire from within. If someone else tries to light that fire under you, chances are it will burn very briefly

8)Maya Angelou

I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel

9) Ralph Waldo Emerson

The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.

10) Martin Luther King Jr.

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter

11) Ayn Rand

The question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me

12) Bill Copeland

The trouble with not having a goal is that you can spend your life running up and down the field and never score.

19) C. Joybell

Life is too short to waste any amount of time on wondering what other people think about you. In the first place, if they had better things going on in their lives, they wouldn’t have the time to sit around and talk about you. What’s important to me is not others’ opinions of me, but what’s important to me is my opinion of myself

We can’t be afraid of change. You may feel very secure in the pond that you are in, but if you never venture out of it, you will never know that there is such a thing as an ocean, a sea. Holding onto something that is good for you now, may be the very reason why you don’t have something better

Lots of things can be fixed. Things can be fixed. But many times, relationships between people cannot be fixed, because they should not be fixed. You’re aboard a ship setting sail, and the other person has joined the inland circus, or is boarding a different ship, and you just can’t be with each other anymore. Because you shouldn’t be

20) Buddha

You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love & affection
