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:-

  • There's no emptiness in the life of a warrior. Everything is filled to the brim. Everything is filled to the brim, and everything is equal.

    ~ Carlos Castaneda quotes from A Separate Reality

    Inspirational Quotes on: Wisdom, Experience, Life, Warrior

  • If you follow your bliss, doors will open for you that wouldn't have opened for anyone else.

    ~ Joseph Campbell quotes

    Motivational Quotes on: Follow, Bliss, Joseph Campbell

  • An old man who cannot bid farewell to life appears as feeble and sickly as the young man who is unable to embrace it.

    ~ Carl Jung quotes

    Motivational Quotes on: Carl Jung, Life

  • Never promise more than you can perform.

    ~ Pubilius Syrus quotes

  • A warrior-hunter knows that his death is waiting, and the very act he is performing now may well be his last battle on earth. He calls it a battle because it is a struggle. Most people move from act to act without any struggle or thought. A warrior-hunter, on the contrary, assesses every act; and since he has intimate knowledge of his death, he proceeds judiciously, as if every act were his last battle. Only a fool would fail to notice advantage a warrior-hunter has over his fellow men. A warrior-hunter gives his last battle its due respect. It's only natural that his last act on earth should be the best of himself. It's pleasurable that way. It dulls the edge of his fright.

    ~ Carlos Castaneda quotes from Journey to Ixtlan

    Motivational Quotes on: Wisdom, Death, Knowledge, Earth, Warrior, People
