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:-

  • Well, I have considered myself to be very fortunate in that I have been able to do mostly only that which my inner self told me to do… I am also aware that I do receive much criticism from the outside world for what I do and some people actually get angry at me. But this does not really touch me because I feel that these people do not live in he same world as do I.

    ~ Albert Einstein quotes from The Private Albert Einstein; p. 110

  • If you have the wherewithal to have a lot of money, have it.

    ~ T. Harv Eker quotes from Secrets of the Millionaire Mind

    Inspirational Quotes on: Secret, Mind, Money

  • The Work reveals that what you think shouldn’t have happened should have happened. It should happened because it did, and no thinking in the world can change it. This doesn’t mean that you condone it or approve of it. It just means that you can see things without resistance and without the confusion of your inner struggle. No one wants their children to get sick, no one wants to be in a car accident; but when these things happen, how can it be helpful to mentally argue with them? We know better than to do that, yet we do it, because we don’t know how to stop.

    ~ Byron Katie quotes from Loving What Is

    Inspirational Quotes on: Change, Think, Thinking, Struggle, Katie, Stop, Better, Work, Resistance, World, Now, Should, Cause, Children, The Work

  • If his spirit is distorted he should simply fix it—purge it, make it perfect—because there is no other task in our entire lives which is more worthwhile…To seek the perfection of the warrior's spirit is the only task worthy of our temporariness, our manhood.

    ~ Carlos Castaneda quotes from Journey to Ixtlan

    Motivational Quotes on: Courage, Growth, Warrior
