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:-

  • Our life is frittered away by detail.

    ~ Henry David Thoreau quotes

    Motivational Quotes on: Vision, Life

  • Most of you are much closer to a financial fortune than you are even allowing yourself to purely desire, because, in the thought that it might come, you right away begin thinking of how disappointed you will be if it does not come. And so, in your lackful thought, you do not allow yourself to desire or to expect anything magnificent in terms of money; and that is the reason why, for the most part, you are living rather mediocre financial experiences.

    ~ Esther & Jerry Hicks quotes

  • Great performers in all fields seem immune to what outsiders think about them. Their sense of themselves never depends on the feedback—positive or negative—they get from the environment.

    ~ John Eliot, Ph.D. quotes from Overachievement: The New Model for Exceptional Performance

    Motivational Quotes on: Think, John Eliot, Overachievement, New, Great, Achievement

  • It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.

    ~ Albert Einstein quotes

    Motivational Quotes on: Wisdom, Truth, God, Believe, Religious

  • The thinking of creative and successful men is never exerted in any direction other than that intended. That is why great men produce such a prodigious amount of work, seemingly without effort and without fatigue. The amount of work such men leave to posterity is amazing.

    ~ Walter Russell quotes from The Man Who Tapped the Secrets of the Universe

    Famous Quotes on: Success, Think, Thinking, Secret, Work, Great, Effort, Universe, Creative
