I have a HUGE file of quotes that have inspired or touched me in some way. Please share your favorites here. "Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly." - Robert F. Kennedy "Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go." - William Feather "The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today." - Franklin D. Roosevelt "Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful." - Albert Schweitzer "Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow." - Ronald E. Osborn ****** My personal favorite*** "Do, or do not. There is no 'try.'" - Master Yoda |

Yep. I've been reading and collecting them since I can remember. My favourite is one my Brother gave me but I've already posted that a couple of times. I created my own after a liberating experience. "Suffering can be a blessing in disguise and God's gift to us. Because the more we suffer the deeper grows our character and the move loving and compassionate we become." |

The challenge is to manage ourselves.” Steven Covey "Change your thoughts & change the world" Vincent Peal "The only things that stand between a person and what they ant in life is the will to tryit, and the faith to believe its possible" Rich Devos "Wether you can or you cant... your right" |

“This is a very important lesson. You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end—which you can never afford to lose—with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.” (James Stockdale) God said, “Jesus was my son. Buddha was my son. Mohammed, Moses, you...the man who said there was no room in the Inn was my son.” (Oh, God!) Be right here, right now. (Zen) Not one shred of evidence supports the notion that life is serious. Fame is proof that people are gullible. Be good to each other. (Jesus) That which has been accepted by everyone, everywhere, is almost certain to be false. If men can run the world, why can't they stop wearing neckties? How intelligent is it to start the day by tying a little noose around your neck? (Linda Ellerbee.) The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you're still a rat. (Lilly Tomlin) Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all. (Helen Keller) If you are not working on your ideal day, you're working on someone else's. (Marjorie Blanchard) Well, sometimes the magic works, sometimes it does not. (Grandfater, Little Big Man) We are all angels with one wing, able only to fly when we embrace each other |

| I love the one above by President Kennedy: "Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly." Wow, what a great quote. Most people will never achieve that much because they refuse to fail so they don't even try. Personally my favorites are: "you must trade in who you've been for who you must become" Les Brown "you deserve to have your life exactly the way you want it" Jack Canfield The fact that you even have a dream is all the evidence you need to achieve it" both Bishop TD Jakes and Brian Tracy "Commitment is the difference between people who 'have potential' and people who have results" Demond Jackson (Me) |

I love inspirational quotes. I even have a folder on my hard drive just for quotes... Some of my current favorites: "Disappointment is inevitable. Discouragement is a choice."--unknown? "What people CAN do is amazing. What people WILL do is usually disappointing" --Anthony Robbins "You don't need to see the whole staircase. Just take the first step." Martin Luther King, Jr |

This is a great thread. I also have been making a habit of collecting and sharing quotes. In fact I have a blog of inspirational quotes by subject. I cannot post links yet but if you google 'transformation ron sedlak' (copy and paste) you will get it as about the 5th ranking on the page. Look for 'transformation at will'. Bookmark it and you will have an ever increasing source of quotes by subject. Ron |

| Hi Just joined the forum. Yes, I too love inspirational quotes. I researched lots for my book: How to be Happy: A Practical Guide. My absolote favourite quote is from Walden by Henry David Thoreau: "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. Why should we be in such desperate haste to succeed? If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away." Be your own person. Dare to follow your own path in life. Cheers, ![]() |

Great thread! Yes, I collect quotes and here are 2 of my favourites: Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character: it becomes your destiny. -- Frank Outlaw and... Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. -- Marianne Williamson |

Thank you everybody for sharing some of your favorite inspirational quotes. Here are a few of mine: "Give every man more in use value than you take from him in cash value; then you are adding to the life of the world by every business transaction.” ~ Wallace D Wattles “Whenever you do a thing, act as if all the world were watching.” ~ Thomas Jefferson “Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.” ~ Thomas Jefferson "People with goals succeed because they know where they are going... It's as simple as that." ~ Earl Nightingale “Any person who contributes to prosperity must prosper in turn.” ~ Earl Nightingale “Most people spend more time and energy going around problems than in trying to solve them.” ~ Henry Ford "Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin" ~ Mother Teresa “Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor... Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting." ~ Mother Teresa |

Thanks for starting this thread. I have many quotes I read when I need inspiration, but my all time favourite is this (long) one : "Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness concerning all acts of initiative and creation. There is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans; that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen events, meetings and material assistance which no one could have dreamed would have come their way. I have learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets: "Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now!"" W.H. Murray ~ from his Himalayan journal. Yes I supose I'm biased as he is a fellow Scotsman ![]() Onwards & Upwards |

Not only do I collect quotation books and have a file for quotations I find online, but at risk of sounding vain, I have a file of some of my own best lines from different writings. It really isn't a vanity thing. It's just handy to have that "just right" phrase on hand when I'm working. It's also inspirational to read some of them when I'm feeling low or thing aren't going right. I highly recommend the practice! Here's one of my favorite quotes of me: Each day is your canvas. You are the artist. Paint a masterpiece on as many days as you are able and your life will become a work of art. |
