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:-

• “But in doing that, you save the world. The influence of a vital person vitalizes, there’s no doubt about it. The world without spirit is wasteland. People have the notion of saving the world by shifting things around, changing the rules, and who’s on top, and so forth. No, no! Any world is a valid world if it’s alive. The thing to do is to bring life to it, and the only way to do that is to find in your own case where the life is and become alive yourself.”

  ~ Joseph Campbell quotes

• There comes a moment when you have to stop revving up the car and shove it into gear.

  ~ David Mahoney quotes

• Love is like quicksilver in the hand. Leave the fingers open and it stays. Clutch it and it darts away.

  ~ Dorothy Parker quotes

  Inspirational Quotes on: Love

• Tzu-kung asked, 'Is there a single word which can be a guide to conduct throughout one's life?' The Master said, 'It is perhaps the word 'shu.' Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire.

  ~ Confucius quotes from The Analects

  Self-Development Quotes on: Love, The Golden Rule, Life

• A warrior-hunter knows that his death is waiting, and the very act he is performing now may well be his last battle on earth. He calls it a battle because it is a struggle. Most people move from act to act without any struggle or thought. A warrior-hunter, on the contrary, assesses every act; and since he has intimate knowledge of his death, he proceeds judiciously, as if every act were his last battle. Only a fool would fail to notice advantage a warrior-hunter has over his fellow men. A warrior-hunter gives his last battle its due respect. It's only natural that his last act on earth should be the best of himself. It's pleasurable that way. It dulls the edge of his fright.

  ~ Carlos Castaneda quotes from Journey to Ixtlan
