Inspiration quotes"Courage is the discovery that you may not win, and trying when you know you can lose."---Tom Krause quotes"Enthusiasm is excitement with inspiration, motivation, an a pinch of creativity."---Bo Bennett quotes"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."--Mary Anne Radmacher quotes"There are no failures- just experiences and your reactions to them."---Tom Krause quotes"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.Don't be trapped by dogma- which is living with the results of other people's thinking.Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice.And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.They somehow aleady know what you truly want to become.Everything else is secondary."---Steve Jobs quotes"Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength.""Try and fail, but don't fail to try."Stephen Kaqqwa quotes"You won't realize the distance you've walked until you take a look around and realize how far you've been.""Man can live about forty days without food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air, but only for one second without hope.""Have the courage to say no. Have the courage to face the truth. Do the right thing because it is right. These are the magic keys to living your life with integrity."W.Clement Stone quotes“Only as high as I reach can I grow, only as much as I seek can I go, only as deep as I look can I see, only as much as I dream can I be.”Karen Ravn quotesMan cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore. Andre Gide quotesHave the courage to say no. Have the courage o face the truth. Do the right thing because it is right. These are the magic keys to living your life with integrity.W. Clement Stone quotesWe should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing. Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom generates action.Frank Tibolt quotesEducation quotes"Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death."Albert Einstein quote"The difference between school and life? In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson."Tom Bodett quotesLive as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.Mahatma Gandhi quotesGovernment Quote"Which is the best government? That which teaches us to govern ourselves."Johann Wolfgang von Goethe quotes"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government- lest it come to dominate our lives and interests."--Partick Henry quotesFriendship quotes"A true friend sees the good in everything, and brings out the best in the worst of things." Sasha Azevedo quote.A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.Walter Winchell quotesTime goes by so fast, people go in and out of your life. You must never miss the opportunity to tell these people how much they mean to you.Motivation quotes"If your action inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader."John Quincy Adams"Only as high as I reach can I grow, only as far as I seek can I go, only as deep as I look can I see, only as much as I dream can I be."---Karen Ravn quotes"Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore." ---Andre Gide quotes"Life's up and downs provide windows of opportunity to determine your values and goals - Think of using all obstacles as stepping stones to build the life you want."--Marsha Sinetar quotesRemember today, for it is the beginning of always. Today marks the start of a brave new future filled with all your dreams can hold. Think truly to the future and make those dreams come true.Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal.Pamela Vaull Starr quotesWhen it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don’t adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.Confucius quotesNature quote"We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature- trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls." Mother Tersea quotes"In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they're still beautiful."Alice Walker quotes"Konwing trees, I understand the meaning of patience. Konwing grass, I can appreciate persistence."Hal Borland quoteStudy and science quote"Learn everything you can, anytime you can, from anyone you can- there will always come a time when you will be grateful you did."--Sarah Caldwell quotesIt would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense; it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation ofwave pressure.Albert Einstein quotesTo raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science.Albert Einstein quotesScience progresses best when observations force us to alter our preconceptions.Vera Rubin quotesScience investigates religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge which is power religion gives man wisdom which is control.Martin Luther King. Jr. quotesIf we are going to teach creation science as an alternative to evolution, then we should also teach the stork theory as an alternative to biological reproduction.Judith Hayes quotesThe important thing in science is not so much to obtain new facts as to discover new ways of thinking about them.William Braqq. Sr. quotesScience and art belong to the whole world, and before them vanish the barriers of nationality.Johann Wolfgang von Goethe quotesIf I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.Isaac Newton quotesWhen Kepler found his long-cherished belief did not agree with the most precise observation, he accepted the uncomfortable fact. He preferred the hard truth to his dearest illusions; that is the heart of science.Dr. Carl Sagan quotesThere are many hypotheses in science which are wrong. That’s perfectly all right; they’re the aperture to finding out what’s right. Science is a self-correcting process. To be accepted, new ideas must survive the most rigorous standards of evidence and scrutiny. Dr. Carl Sagan quotesI am among those who think that science has great beauty. A scientist in his laboratory is not only a technician: he is also a child placed before natural phenomena which impress him like a fairy tale.Marie Curie quotesOpportunity quote"Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity."--Seneca quote"Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great. Weak men wait for opportunities; strong men make them."--Orison Swett Marden quotes"Sometimes we stare so long at a door that is closing that we see too late the one that is open."-Alexander Graham Bell quotes"It is better to be prepared for an opportunity and not have one than to have an opportunity and not be prepared."--Whitney M.Young Jr quotes"If you wait for opportunities to occur, you will be one of the crowd."--Edward de Bono quotesI always tried to turn every disaster into an opportunity.--John D. RockefellerMost people don't recognize opportunity when it comes, because it's usually dressed in overalls and looks a lot like work."-Thomas Alva EdisonLife quotesIntellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death.-Albert Einstein quoteI certainly don’t regret my experiences because without them, I could n’t imagine who or where I would be today. Life is an amazing gift to those who have overcome great obstacles, and attitude is everything!Sasha Azevedo quotesThe road of life twists and turns and no two directions are ever the same. Yet our lessons come from the journey, not the destination.Don Williams, Jr. quotesDream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today.James Dean quotesThe longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company...a church...a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past...we cannont change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it si with you...we are in charge of our Attitudes.Charles R. Swindoll quotesNobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.Maris Robinson quotesLife is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling face. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dream.Ashley Smith quotesTo love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.If you wait to do everything until you’re sure it’s right, you’ll probably never do much of anything.Win Borden quotesMemory is a way of holding on to the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose."Kevin Arnold quoteTake up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, that is way great spiritual giants are produced.Swami Vivekananda quotePerhaps our eyes need to be washed by our tears once in a while, so that we can see life with a clearer view again.Alex Tan quotesOur attitude towards life determines life's attitude towards us.John N.Mitchell quotesThis is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when your doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, love to complete your life.For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.Ralph Waldo Emerson quotesOne day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure its worth watching.Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever.Keri Russell quotesNever waste a minute of your precious life by squandering it thinking about people you don’t like.To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children... to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.Ralph Waldo Emerson quotesHow wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.Anne Frank quotesWhen we long for life without difficulties, remind us that oaks grow strong in contrary winds and diamonds are made under pressure.Peter Marshall quotesThe greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.Walter Bagehot quotePeople come into your life and people leave it… you just have to trust that life has a road mapped out for you.Orlando Bloom quotes(English actor, 1977)Don’t listen to anyone who tells you that you can’t do this or that. That’s nonsense. Make up your mind, you’ll never use crutches or a stick, then have a go at everything. Go to school, join in all the games you can. Go anywhere you want to. But never, never let them persuade that things are too difficult or impossible.Douglas Bader quotesI do believe that when we face challenges in life that are far beyond our own power, It’s an opportunity to build on our faith, inner strength, and courage. I’ve learned that how we face challenges plays a big role in the outcome of them.Sasha Azevedo quotesTrust yourself. You know more than you think you do.Benjamin Spock quotes (American pediatrician and author)Our attitude toward life determines life’s attitude towards us.John N.Mitchell quotesLife may change, but it may fly not; Hope may vanish, but can die not; Truth be veiled, but still it burneth; Love repulsed, - but it returneth.Percy Bysshe Shelley quotes (English romantic poet )I’ve learned that making a “living” is not the same thing as making a “life”.Maya Angelou quotesWhen we long of life without difficulties, remind us that oaks grow strong in contrary winds and diamonds are made under pressure.Peter Marshall quotes (American TV game show host 1927)The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.Walter Bagehot quotesLife is what we make it, always has been, always will be.Grandma Moses quotesWhen I hear somebody sigh, “Life is hard,” I am always tempted to ask , “ compared to what?“Sydney J. Harris quotes (American journalist and author)Contemplation often makes life miserable. We should act more, think less, and stop watching other’s life.Of course life is bizarre, the more bizarre it gets, the more interesting it is. The only way to approach it is to make yourself some popcorn and enjoy the show.Life is short, don’t waste time worrying about what people think of you. Hold on to the ones that care, in the end they will be the only ones there.There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.Albert Einstein quotesYou can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you might find, you get what you need.The Rolling Stones quotesGod allows us to experience the low points of life in order to teach us lessons we could not learn in any other way. The way we learn those lessons is not to deny the feelings but to find the meanings underlying them.Stanley Lindquist quotesDon’t go through life, grow through life.Eric Butterworth quotesOne day at a time--- this is enough. Do not look back and grieve over the past for it is gone; and do not be trouble about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful it will be worth remembering.Life’s challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, you’re supposed to help you discover who you are.Bernice Johnson Reagon quotes (American historian and musician)Friend QuotesA friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are.Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget.A friend is someone who, upon seeing another friend in immense pain, would rather be the one experiencing the pain than to have to watch their friend suffer.Life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends we choose. Tennessee Williams quotesDon't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend.Albert Camus quotesA friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgetten the words.Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another," what!You too? I thought I was the only one."C.S.

Watch your habits, for they become character. Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.Thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one’s thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the world.Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe quotesAction conquers fear.Remember, people will judge you by your actions, not your intentions.
