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:-

• Brevity is the soul of wit.

  ~ William Shakespeare quotes

  Motivational Quotes on: Love, Communication

• Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy. For if you break bread with indifference, you bake bitter bread that feeds but half a man's hunger. And if you grudge the crushing of grapes, your grudge distils a poison in the wine. And if you sing though as angels, and love not the singing, you muffle man's ears to the voices of the day and the voices of the night.

  ~ Kahlil Gibran quotes from The Prophet

  Self-Development Quotes on: Love, Joy, Win

• Willpower is the key to success. Successful people strive no matter what they feel by applying their will to overcome apathy, doubt or fear.

  ~ Dan Millman quotes

  Self-Development Quotes on: Action, Self-mastery, Success, Willpower, Doubt, Fear, Power, People

• The spiritual journey does not consist in arriving at a new destination where a person gains what he did not have, or becomes what he is not. It consists in the dissipation of one's own ignorance concerning one's self and life, and the gradual growth of that understanding which begins the spiritual awakening. The finding of God is a coming to one's self.

  ~ Aldous Huxley quotes

  Self-Development Quotes on: Growth, God, Aldous Huxley, New, Life, Journey, Ignorance, Understand, Spiritual, Spirit

• I write because it gives me the greatest possible artistic pleasure to write. If my work pleases the few I am gratified. As for the mob, I have no desire to be a popular novelist. It is far too easy.

  ~ Oscar Wilde quotes
