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:-

  • As soon as the love relationship does not lead me to me, as soon as I in a love relationship do not lead another person to himself, this love, even if it seems to be the most secure and ecstatic attachment I have ever experienced, is not true love. For real love is dedicated to continual becoming.

    ~ Leo Buscaglia quotes from Love

    Self-Development Quotes on: Love, Intimacy

  • Any coward can sit at home and criticize a pilot for flying into a mountain in a fog. But I would rather by far die on a mountainside than in bed.

    ~ Charles Lindbergh quotes

    Motivational Quotes on: Courage, Critics

  • Be like the bird, who, feeling the branch break beneath him sings, knowing that he has wings.

    ~ Victor Hugo quotes

    Self-Development Quotes on: Sin, Victor Hugo, Win

  • I have insecurities. But whatever I'm insecure about, I don't dissect it, but I'll go after it and say, "What am I afraid of?" I bet the average successful person can tell you they've failed so much more than they've had success. I've had far more failures than I've had successes. With every commercial I've gotten, there were 200 I didn't get. You have to go after what you're afraid of.

    ~ Kevin Sorbo quotes

    Self-Development Quotes on: Success, Failure, Fail, Insecure, Average

  • Each of us has innumerable voices, or aspects, within us. To get a clearer picture of how they operate, think of yourself for a moment as a large corporation with many, many employees. How many? Nobody knows. It’s a little bizarre. We went out and randomly hired all these folks for our company, and we neglected to tell them what their jobs were. We also neglected to tell them their titles or job descriptions. If that weren’t bad enough, we didn’t even tell them who they work for, what the name of th company is, and who the boss is. Then we said, go to work. Now what kind of company is that?

    ~ Zen Master Dennis Genpo Merzel quotes
