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 is only one journey: going inside yourself.

    ~ Rainer Maria Rilke quotes

    Motivational Quotes on: Journey

  • Whatever you habitually think yourself to be, that you are. You must form, now, a greater and better habit; you must form a conception of yourself as a being of limitless power, and habitually think that you are that being. It is the habitual, not the periodical thought that decides your destiny.

    ~ Wallace D. Wattles quotes from The Science of Being Great

    Motivational Quotes on: Decide, Think, Habit, Better, Power, Great, Destiny

  • It seems mutants have something in their lives called gravy. They know truth, but it is buried under thickening and spices of convenience, materialism, insecurity, and fear. They also have something called frosting. It seems to represent how they spend almost all the seconds of their existence in doing superficial, artificial, temporary, pleasant-tasting, nice appearing projects and spend very few actual seconds of their lives developing their eternal beingness.

    ~ Marlo Morgan quotes from Mutant Message from Down Under

    Self-Development Quotes on: Fear, Truth, Live, Act, Doing, Security

  • Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of readiness to die.

    ~ G.K. Chesterton quotes

    Self-Development Quotes on: Courage, Desire, Live, Contradict, Age, Strong

  • "One is most dishonest to one's god: he is not allowed to sin."

    ~ Friedrich Nietzsche quotes
