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:-

  • The ability to triumph begins with you. Always.

    ~ Oprah Winfrey quotes

  • The really great man is often considered selfish by a large group of people who are connected with him and who feel that he might bestow upon them more benefits than he does.

    ~ Wallace D. Wattles quotes from The Science of Being Great

    Famous Quotes on: Best, Great, People

  • In this interconnected universe, every improvement we make in our private world improves the world at large for everyone. We all float on the collective level of consciousness of mankind, so that any increment we add comes back to us. We all add to our common buoyancy by our efforts to benefit life. It is a scientific fact that what is good for you is good for me.

    ~ Dr. David Hawkins quotes from Power vs. Force

    Inspirational Quotes on: Act, Kind, Power, Good, Life, Effort, Universe

  • It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

    ~ Teddy Roosevelt quotes

    Famous Quotes on: Courage, Challenges, Achieve, Strong, Defeat

  • A rule of thumb for a warrior is that he makes his decisions so carefully that nothing that may happen as a result of them can surprise him, much less drain his power.

    ~ Carlos Castaneda quotes from Tales of Power

    Motivational Quotes on: Courage, Decide, Warrior, Power
