Inspirational quotes.

    ~ Mark Twain quotes

    Motivational Quotes on: Courage, Risk, Dream, Win

  • It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.

    ~ Theodore Roosevelt quotes

    Famous Quotes on: Fail

  • It is reported that more than 90% of what we worry about never happens. That means that our negative worries have less than a 10% chance of being correct. If this is so, isn’t being positive more realistic than being negative? Think about your own life. I’ll wager that most of what you worry about never happens. So are you being realistic when you worry all the time? No!

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

    Inspirational Quotes on: Worry, Fear, Think, Life, Time, Age, Feel

  • All say, How hard it is that we have to die -- strange complaint to come form the mouths of people who have had to live.

    ~ Mark Twain quotes

  • Dreamlining is so named because it applies timelines to what most would consider dreams.

    ~ Timothy Ferriss quotes from The 4-Hour Workweek
