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:-

    Famous Quotes on: Attitude, Worry, Fear, Warrior

  • You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look at fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." You must do the think you think you cannot do.

    ~ Eleanor Roosevelt quotes

    Famous Quotes on: Confidence, Courage, Fear, Experience, Think, Eleanor Roosevelt, Live, Stop

  • God does not give a lick of an ice cream cone without wanting you to have the whole cone.

    ~ Marshall Thurber quotes

    Famous Quotes on: God, Give

  • Since the beginning of time, people have been trying to change the world so that they can be happy. This hasn’t ever worked, because it approaches the problem backward. What The Work gives us is a way to change the projector—mind—rather than the projected. It’s like when there’s a piece of lint on a projector’s lens. We think there’s a flaw on the screen, and we try to change this person and that person, whomever the flaw appears on next. But it’s futile to try to change the projected images. Once we realize where the lint is, we can clear the lens itself. This is the end of suffering, and the beginning of a little joy in paradise.

    ~ Byron Katie quotes from Loving What Is
