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:-

  • Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life… Therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated. Thus, everyone’s task is as unique as is his specific opportunity to implement it.

    ~ Viktor Frankl quotes

  • It’s good that it hurts. Pain is the signal that you’re confused, that you’re in a lie.

    ~ Byron Katie quotes from Loving What Is

    Motivational Quotes on: Katie, Good, Pain

  • I believe that there is but One Thinker in the universe; that my thinking is His thinking, and that every man’s thinking is an extension, through God, of every other man’s thinking. I therefore think that the greater the exaltation and ecstasy of my thinking, the greater the standards of all man’s thinking will be. Each man is thus empowered to uplift all men as each drop of water uplifts the entire ocean.

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

  • God is an intelligible sphere--a sphere known to mind, not to the senses--whose center is everywhere and whose circumference nowhere.

    ~ Joseph Campbell quotes from The Power of Myth

  • The purpose of life is not to win. The purpose of life is to grow and to share. When you come to look back on al that you have done in life, you will get more satisfaction from the pleasure you have brought into other people's lives that you will from the times that you outdid and defeated them.

    ~ Rabbi Harold Kushner quotes
