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:-

  • The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.

    ~ Albert Einstein quotes

    Inspirational Quotes on: Truth, Albert Einstein, Live, Act, Beauty

  • 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

  • If you want to achieve a high goal, you're going to have to take some chances.

    ~ Alberto Salazar quotes

    Inspirational Quotes on: Achieve

  • "Death is our eternal companion. It is always to our left, an arm's length behind us. Death is the only wise adviser that a warrior has. Whenever he feels that everything is going wrong and he's about to be annihilated, he can turn to his death and ask if that is so. His death will tell him that he is wrong, that nothing really matters outside its touch. His death will tell him, I haven't touched you yet.'"

    ~ Carlos Castaneda quotes from Journey to Ixtlan

    Self-Development Quotes on: Wisdom, Death, Warrior, Wise

  • Take a risk a day—one small or bold stroke that will make you feel great once you’ve done it. Even if it doesn’t work out the way you wanted it to, at least you’ve tried. You didn’t sit back…powerless. Watch what starts to happen when you expand your comfort zone…with each risk you take, each time you move out of what feels comfortable, you become more powerful… As your power builds, so does your confidence, so that stretching your comfort zone becomes easier and easier, despite any fear you may experiencing. The magnitude of the risks you take also expands.

    ~ Susan Jeffers quotes from Feel the Fear…And Do It Anyway
