• The greatest thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving.

  ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe quotes

  Inspirational Quotes on: Goals

• Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I shall have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it, even if I may not have it at the beginning.

  ~ Mahatma Gandhi quotes

  Famous Quotes on: Attitude, Belief, Believe

• I’m not a big believer in long-term planning and far-off goals. In fact, I generally set 3-month and 6-month dreamlines. The variables change too much and in-the-future distance becomes an excuse for postponing action.

  ~ Timothy Ferriss quotes from The 4-Hour Workweek

  Motivational Quotes on: Action, General, Goals, Change, Future, Dream, Act, Work, Believe

• Most of the stone a nation hammers goes toward its tomb only. It buries itself alive. As for the Pyramids, there is nothing to wander at in them so much as the fact that so many men could be found degraded enough to spend their lives constructing a tomb for some ambitious booby, whom it would have been wiser and manlier to have drowned in the Nile, and then given his body to the dogs.

  ~ Henry David Thoreau quotes

  Inspirational Quotes on: War, Henry David Thoreau, Live, Act, Body, Thoreau, Give, Spend, Wise

• We all have something that we are meant to do. Your genius will shine through, and happiness will fill your life, the instant you discover your higher purpose and then direct all your energies towards it.

  ~ Robin Sharma quotes
