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:-

  • As soon as the love relationship does not lead me to me, as soon as I in a love relationship do not lead another person to himself, this love, even if it seems to be the most secure and ecstatic attachment I have ever experienced, is not true love. For real love is dedicated to continual becoming.

    ~ Albert Einstein quotes

    Inspirational Quotes on: Albert Einstein, Work

  • Say no to the drug of gradualness. It was Martin Luther King, Jr., who spoke out strongly against making slow changes. Either we risk or we don’t, he said. Either we change or we don’t. There’s no acceptable middle ground because it lulls us into complacency. Lasting changes rarely occur when we ease our way into the future. They come when we leap. The leap themselves can be small or large. Once we take action, we see things differently and for many of us there’s no going back.

    ~ Robert Cooper quotes from The Other 90%: How to Unlock Your Vast Untapped Potential for Leadership & Life

    Inspirational Quotes on: Action, Leadership, Risk, Change, Martin Luther King, Future, Act, Life, Potential, Rent, Strong

  • We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence (aka Areté) then, is not an act, but a habit.

    ~ Aristotle quotes
