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:-

  • Life is never incomplete if it is an honorable one. At whatever point you leave life, if you leave it in the right way, it is whole.

    ~ Seneca quotes from Letters from a Stoic

  • Don’t Take Anything Personally. Nothings others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.

    ~ Don Miguel Ruiz quotes

  • You've got to ask! Asking is, in my opinion, the world's most powerful--and neglected--secret to success and happiness.

    ~ Percy Ross quotes

    Inspirational Quotes on: Success, Happiness, Secret, Power, Skin

  • Pour the bulk of your time into action, not deciding. The state of indecision is a major time waster. Don't spend more than 60 seconds in that state if you can avoid it. Make a firm, immediate decision, and move from uncertainty to certainty to action. Let the world tell you when you're wrong, and you'll soon build enough experience to make accurate, intelligent decisions.

    ~ Steve Pavlina quotes

    Self-Development Quotes on: Action, Experience, Act, Decisions, Waste, Decision
