Brian Johnson's PhilosophersNotes

Inspirational Quotes

Emerson instructed us to “Make your own Bible. Select and collect all the words and sentences that in all your reading have been to you like the blast of truimpth out of Shakespeare, Seneca, Moses, John and Paul.”

Following Emerson’s guidance, I offer some of my favorite blasts of triumph. You can search by topic or by teacher or you can just hit refresh and keep getting 5 new random quotes below:-

  • Never make your appeal to a man's better nature; he may not have one. Always make your appeal to his self-interest.

    ~ Lazarus Long quotes

    Inspirational Quotes on: Better, Rest, Nature

  • The crime which bankrupts men and states is job-work—declining from your main design, to serve a turn here and there. Nothing is beneath you, if it is in the direction of your life, nothing is great or desirable if it is off from that. I think we are entitled here to draw a straight line and say that society can never prosper but must always be bankrupts, until every man does that which he was created to do.

    ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson quotes from Conduct of Life

    Famous Quotes on: Think, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Emerson, Create, Work, Great, Life, Society, Serve

  • Each stone, each bend cries welcome to him. He identifies with the mountains and the streams, he sees something of his own soul in the plants and the animals and the birds of the field.

    ~ Paulo Coelho quotes from The Warrior of the Light

    Famous Quotes on: War, Paulo Coelho, Warrior, Soul, Light

  • Perfect love casts out fear. Where there is love there are no demands, no expectations, no dependency. I do not demand that you make me happy; my happiness does not lie in you. If you were to leave me, I will not feel sorry for myself; I enjoy your company immensely, but I do not cling.

    ~ Anthony de Mello quotes

    Inspirational Quotes on: Fear, Love, Happiness, Cling, Perfect, Expect, Anthony De Mello, Joy, Demand, Happy

  • The how thinker gets problems solved effectively because he wastes no time with futile ifs but goes right to work on the creative how.

    ~ Norman Vincent Peale quotes

    Inspirational Quotes on: Attitude, Creative
