I love this list. Excellent stuff!

24.

Ellesse at 1:46 am

You guys and gals rock! And made my start of the year a FABULOUS one…

@Alex, Ace, Gamy, Gary, Luke… thank you so much for your very very kind words. It’s a excellent way to start the new year with these 50 quotesand also receive such heartwarming feedback from all of you…

@Jose, those are some really powerful quotes. Thank you so much for sharing!

@Blake, you’ve absolutely no idea how much I love the first one on your list … really insightful and thought provoking.

@Eric, thanks for the link. Guys and gals, another source for you to check out!

@Button-up.com, how apt! And so very very true. Those who have the time to complain about how busy they were will probably hate Henry DavidThoreau for it… haha.

@Arvind, yes. When you’re helping others, you uplift the state of your life condition, learning more than what others are learning. Gaining morethan what others are gaining. That’s the gift of giving. Thanks, Arvind for affirming that with that wonderful quote…

@Kamil, thanks for coming back to add your very cool quotes to the pool. I simply loved the 2nd one on your list. It’s very very true… and whenyou ask the 3rd group of people what they want in life, they’ll say “I see what comes along”. To them, maybe ignorance is bliss… haha.

@Dave, that must be a flight of stairs to the Universe! Nice one.

@Janice, feel free to share with them this list. Oh boy, seems that you and your husband had great fun last year… continue doing so. Life’s abouttreasuring every moment… and creating yourself in the process!

Have a excellent 2008, everyone!

Nick Grimshawe at 2:12 am

A great mix of fabulous quotes to make you think. I love inspirational quotes because they are like knidling for a fire. Anyone of those quotes arecapable of being the spark to some great adventure, or brilliant idea.

“Do, or do not. There is no ‘Try’” – Yoda

27.

Ellesse at 5:19 am

@Nick, absolutely. I guess these people of wisdom would be even happier if others were to put their advice to good use. And that’s precisely what Ilove about inspirational quotes too. For they often inspire people to do that difficult step : Action.

@Rick, thanks for your great addition.

Anyone else would like to share?

I really like the quote by Muhammad Ali about the will needing to be stronger than the skill. Let me join the comment-fest with some of myfavorites:

“The reasonable man conforms to the world, while the unreasonable man tries to conform the world to him. Therefore, all progress relies upon theunreasonable man.” – George Bernard Shaw

“The goal is not to be better than the other man, but to be better than your previous self.” – An old Hindu proverb.

Thank you for the “positive food” Here are my contributions:

Time is a created thing. To say ‘I don’t have time,’ is like saying, ‘I don’t want to.’~ Lao Tzu

“Bear in mind, if you are going to amount to anything, that your success does not depend upon the brilliancy and the impetuosity with which youtake hold, but upon the ever lasting and sanctified buldoggedness with which you hang on after you have taken hold.” Dr. A. B. Meldrum

“When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crackshowing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it – but all that had gone before.” – JacobRiis

“There’s a difference between interest and commitment. When you’re interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstances permit.When you’re committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results.” – Art Turock

Best to you, Ellesse

kirsten at 3:02 am

ALFREDO COLLADO at 3:04 am

-Life is like a puzzle and the only hint is your dreams which is at the finish end!-There are two side to everything in life, you got good and bad things, a point A and point B, a positive and negative and a up or down, but tosucceed is up to you to balance them.

36.

Ellesse at 3:17 am

@Avi, Lawrence, James, Tezza… thank you so much for your kind words… Indeed these wise people have not only left their legacy of great deedsand works, they’ve also left us lingering thoughts to ponder about. Sometimes it makes me wonder, what things have I left for the next generation?

@Al, haha. What a coincidence… A few of yours were on my shortlisted quotes too. Thank you so much for frequenting Goal Setting College andcommenting… I really really really appreciate that!

37.


7 of 42 21-Jan-12 7:02 PM

@Jane, wow. those are really profound words! Thank you so much for your contribution!

@Kirsten, Ah… Eleanor Roosevelt, the first lady! I’ve always loved her quotes. Another favourite of mine is this “The future belong to those whobelieve in the beauty of their dreams.” Good stuff! And Napolean Hill’s quote… used that a lot in my articles… Good recommendations!

@Alfredo, how true. 2 side of things. And that’s what positivity is all about.. looking at the bright side while taking heed of the bad. A fact of life!

Hey, everyone, just want to let you guys know how much I treasure your comments and feedback. Goal Setting College was like a quiet forestbefore this. But with all your wonderful chatter, this is really becoming the beautiful woods I’ve always wished for!

Thank you, thank you everyone…

Ron Tocknell at 3:52 pm

The difference between being on an unknown journey and being lost is simply a matter of viewpoint.

Opportunity is always knocking at the door……… but with a feather.

Democracy is the objective of those who aspire to power….and a stone-in-the-shoe for those who have it.

He who sees wealth as having everything will never be wealthyHe who sees wealth as needing nothing will never be poor

To consider is to unlock doorsTo believe is to open one doorTo accept is to open all doorsTo surrender is to pass through

A lifetime of study and learning cannot alter the inevitability of surrendering to the unknown.

Just a few more to consider.

Jason @ LiveLoaded.com at 8:26 pm

Thanks for the great collection of quotes, you’ve really put together an inspiring list. I’ve even decided to incorporate several of them into my dailyblog.

I love motivational quotes – the simplicity and elegance of a powerful quote sets off an internal spark like few other things in life can. I find it to begreat for motivation and goal setting to have them everywhere. I have posters and images all over my office with some of my favorite quotes. WhenI’m feeling down or lacking vision, sometimes a quick glance is all it takes to get my act together.

Thanks again, and keep up the good work!

40.

Ellesse at 4:09 am

@Ron, nice additions. I especially loved the 3rd one. Wealth is a very much misunderstood thing and I’ve seen so many people give up their healthfor their wealth only to use their wealth for their health later. Ironic.

@Doug, thanks for leading me to the site. I googled it and found it to be a treasure trove of quotes. For the benefit of everyone, here’s the linkhttp://www.reellifewisdom.com/. Enjoy people…

@Jason, thank you very much for your kind words. I see that you’ve already used some of the quotes on your blog. Thank you! Share them!Showcase them! and inspire more people…

Ellesse at 6:24 am

Chuck, Nice one! I popped over and grabbed this quote that’s quite thoughtful : “A man has three names: the name he inherits, the name his parentsgive him, and the name he makes for himself.”

Everyone, another site to take a look…

When asked what was the difference between Knowledge and Wisdom, a wise man once said: “Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit;Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad”

Adam Hevenor at 2:24 am

Wow. A great list.

I like this one:

“We are like the spider. We weave our web and then move along in it. We are like the dreamer who dreams and then lives in that dream. That is truefor the entire universe.” – Upanishads

57.

Ellesse at 3:05 am

@Skerit, thank you!

@Alfredo, transforming our insights into words of wisdom is not only a good brain exercise, it’s also an excellent form of journalizing our thoughtsand reflecting our experiences. Keep up the good work!

@Adam, ah.. I can see the picture vividly. Of webs & dreams. Thank you for sharing!

58.

siddharth at 5:57 am

hey Ellesse, kudos, not just for stringing those quotes, but for making this page a goldmine of inspirational qoutes being sent by everybody. Andhope people keep adding….”it’s never done till it’s done” – Me

59.

siddharth at 6:08 am

ok, here’s one for the thinkers – “knowledge – know and you enter; you know not, know not and you enter; you know”

60.

Ellesse at 11:49 am

Siddharth, thanks for your kind words! I didn’t do much actually… I merely compiled these quotes… it’s you wonderful people who made thispossible! Thank you.

Wow, you’re another insightful one. I like your first quote. The second one seems too beyond me… haha!

61.

Julian's quote pics at 1:39 am

I especially like the Mahatma Gandhi one at the top, it’s as Henry Ford said “whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right”. Thething that most people don’t realise it that it’s not just poetic, it’s how it actually is!

62.

Ellesse at 1:45 am

Absolutely, Julian. Gandhi’s one of my admired heros and being able to showcase his quotes is more than a pleasure. It’s also an honor. And ifpeople start thinking they possess the wonderful trove of potential within them, so much more greater things can be achieved. That’s the beauty andpower of firm belief!

63.

James Newman at 3:50 am

Great Quotes!

“When faced with a tough decision remember, it’s always easier to regret the passive choice because you’ll never know what could have been.” –me

“There are no windows of opportunity. Only walls of opportunity. And then we are given a ladder.” -me

“Material possessions are often like taking a prescription for happiness. They can conceal the symptoms but ultimately won’t cure the disease that isunhappiness.” -me

Ellesse at 1:42 am

@James, I loved the third. It speaks so much of the truth in blindly chasing wealth.

@Ron, your version gives a slightly different twist to it. Yip man’s talking about reflection and gratitude, your’s into decision making. Just a changemakes so much difference.

@SJ, thanks for the link. The quotes on your list are some of the more popular ones I’ve seen. Nice job.

@Mike, thank you very much for your kind words!

68.

TJ at 2:43 am

Failure to prepare is like preparing to fail.

69.


Actually, I love Yip Man’s quote (is it just me or does “Yip Man” sound like a name for a bizarre kind of superhero?). We tend to eat and drink,taking the sustenance for granted. Half the time, we are not even fully aware that we are eating or drinking, absorbed in the TV instead. Yip Man issaying “This is important. Pay attention. The water does not have to be here yet here it is.” He is making us aware in order to fully experiencedrinking.

My addition was a joke â€“â€“ albeit with an element of truth )

70.

Kevin at 10:47 am

Wayne Dyer’s name is spelled incorrectly, I think.

71.

Ellesse at 11:17 am

@TJ, cool one!

@Ron, Yip Man sounds like some cantonese gongfu hero. I’m not sure if Yip Man’s referring to a chinese proverb, which is also talking about beinggrateful for what one possess. Very very important, in my opinion.

@Kevin, thanks for the heads up! I’ve corrected it

72.

Nick at 11:42 pm

I love this list! Thanks Ellesse for compiling it and thanks to StumbleUpon for helping me find it!

I really like this quote that I read in a book by Melenie Rawn:

“Nothing is set in stone, and if so stone can be broken.”– Lady Andreda

73.

AM at 5:27 am

Wow….very motivating. Thanks very much for compiling. Below are a couple that have kept me sane:

Fear is like fire. Control it, master it, and it will warm your home, and cook your food. Uncontrolled, and it will burn your house down.

The further you look the less you will see.

74.


Er… AM, can you please elaborate:

“Fear is like fire. Control it, master it and it will warm your home and cook your food….”

WILL IT????????????????

God God!! I never knew that!

@Nick, I really have to thank Stumbleupon too for bringing so many of you here! I really like your quote.

@AM, let me make a guess. Your first quote seems to imply that fear, when controlled, keeps you on your toes, continuously improving yourself sothat you’ll be self sufficient (and earn enough to bring food onto the table). It also “scares” you into advance preparation for winter too?

@Ron, haha. try guessing too.

Great stuff to read… got a few of mine too,

Life, like all games becomes more fun, when you realize that it is just a game!

The first hurdle in success is ” you can’t do it ” and the last one is ” I can’t do it “.

Hannele at 10:32 am

Thanks for an excellent list of inspiration! There’s one mistake though: the quote by Confucius “Our greatest glory is never in failure, but in risingevery time we fall.” should actually be “Our greatest glory is _not in never falling_, but in rising every time we fall.”

84.

Thanks Hannele, I’m so sorry about that. I’ve corrected the quote! Thanks for letting me know. Really appreciate it!

Yes, Francisco. I do like some from him as well :

“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

Have you heard of Shirley Cheng? She has a quote that is right up your alley:

“Although I’m blind, I can see far and wide; even though I’m disabled, I can climb high mountains. Let the ropes of hope haul you high!”

Her website is http://www.shirleycheng.com in case anybody else feels compelled to check her out. I recently signed up for Shirley’s mailing list andhave thoroughly enjoyed her occasional letters.

Ellesse at 4:49 am

@Denise, thanks for your contributions! These are some really popular quotes you’ve added!

Ahmed Abbas at 6:39 pm

Hello everyone, Ahmed from Sudan

Ellese thank you for the amazing and really inspiring list of quotes!hehe im going to turn to this list whenever i’m feeling down!A few quotes from Confucius

“If you think in terms of a year, plant a seed; if in terms of ten years, plant trees; if in terms of 100 years, teach the people. ”

“It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop. ”

“It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.”

Love this one “When anger rises, think of the consequences”

“We should feel sorrow, but not sink under its oppression. “

101.


13 of 42 21-Jan-12 7:02 PM

Ellesse at 2:23 am

Ahmed, thanks for your additions! I particularly loved the 2nd one â€œIt does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop. â€

It’s very very true. In the world that we live in now, we literally strive on instant gratification. Hence when something doesn’t show quick results,we give up. Little do we know that as long as we keep doing it, even the tortoise can win the race.

Thanks for your insight!

102.

blogrdoc at 1:48 pm

Let me start by saying this this is probably the only list of quotes (other than mine, ofcourse) that I find value in every single one. Good job!

Here’s some of my faves:

An eye for an eye will leave the world blind. – Ghandi

To persevere, trusting in what hopes he has, is courage in a man. – Euripedes

103.

Ellesse at 2:44 am

I’m really flattered by your comments, Blogrdoc! Thanks you so much!

I love that Gandhi’s quote you mentioned. So much of the world’s turmoil we see now is out of hatred and vengence. It’s so real. And so regretful.

sylvia at 10:03 pm

Hello there.. Stumbled upon this page.. Liked it a lot. Copied several of them to my “Favourite Quotes” in Facebook.. Hehehe..

I have one favourite:

“Dreams come true. Without that possibility, nature wouldn’t incite us to have them.”

It’s from John Updike. I have a special bond with this quote. Long story. Short version, this quote was the one that motivated me to keep on chasingmy dream, even when it’s already shattered in front of my eye. =)

109.

Ellesse at 7:04 am

@Mitch Thank you for your contribution! Nice one…

@Sylvia I’m glad you liked the list! Btw, I really liked your quote. Though it’s simple, it exudes a lot of hope and passion. So very true.

I’m sorry to hear your dream’s being shattered. Even though I don’t know the details, all I can tell you, please don’t give up. Analyze what didn’twork out and what did, and learn from the experience. Remember this quote from Helen Keller

“When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we took so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been openedup for usâ€

I LOVE quotes and stubbling on this website gave me the chance to read some I had never heard of. But after going through Hurricane IKE twoweeks ago the quotes I have lived by is:

“In order to see the rainbow you have to first go through the storm”

I told myself that over and over again when I was without out power for two weeks and I saw my rainbow this morning when my power wasrestored.

These are some thought provoking quotes you got there

here’s one i heard but don’t actually remember where from:

TIME SPENT WISHING IS TIME WASTED

nice huh?

133.

Ellesse at 1:34 am

@Yavor Thanks for your quote! Totally agree with that.. action is the key

@Stan Being able to listen and be a confidante to oneself is very important. Many a times, we have the mentality that others probably know usbetter than ourselves. But actually, the contrary is true. No one understands himself better than himself. It’s a matter of being aware of your feelingsthat can set the difference…

@Kyle I’m really glad these quotes helped you! Self belief is very important… as you soon realized, that is part of the “formulae” that makes thedifference between failure and success!

@Carla I’m so sorry about Hurricane Ike… and what you and your family went through. Your quote is very meaningful and really thanks forsharing it!

@The Fitness Diva, Joanne, Chuck Thank you so much for the kind words!

@Sara Interesting. LOA advocators will probably tell you if you focused on your wishes long enough, it’ll stick in your mind to encourage someaction. I’m certainly one of those people…

There is an incredible amount of wisdom in this post. I am glad I came across it.

Hope this helps many people out there, because “man’s intelligence has developed faster than his wisdom”. Not sure from where I got this, but it isa fact non-the-less.

Thanks Ellesse for the hard work you put to collect these.

Two quotes which I hope may be of use to others (It’s from my little experience)

“Life isn’t made of things and people, but it is composed of what you can think, imagine, want and desire.”

“Reality is just a concept. The way you perceive what goes on around you, and the manner in which you re-act to it, that would be your reality, allelse is just imagination.”

@MJ Wow, kudos to your creativity! Good one.

Ernesta at 4:41 pm

Inspirational indeed. I’m a 17-year-old student and struggling through my final exams that will determine whether or not I get into university. All thequotes are helpful, it gives one hope when hope is perched at the window about to leave. I made a lot of mistakes with regards to studying, but havecome to the realization that none of that matters, all that does matter is the present moment and whether we to choose to say yes or no, everymoment is an opportunity. Here are a few quotes to add to this collection:

‘All of us are lying in the gutter, but some of us are looking up at the stars’- Oscar Wilde.

‘Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results’- Albert Einstein

‘ “There is no use trying,” said Alice; “One can’t believe impossible things.”“I dare say you haven’t had much practise,” said the Queen. “When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ vebelieved as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” ‘- Lewis Carroll

‘Everything will be OK in the end. And if it’s not OK, then it’s not the end’.-unknown

‘I want to kiss the bottom of the ocean before I burst through its surface into the sunlight, otherwise I will always be wondering about what was leftunseen at the bottom’.- unknown

Let positivity prevail upon us and allow us to find our destiny. There is only one of us that has and ever will be, why should we try to be someoneelse?

Shirley Bradley at 2:26 pm

Here are some more I recently came across…

Life is like a book with many chapters. Some are hard to get through, while some are easy. But you have to keep turning the page to get to the nextadventure.

Worry often gives something small a big shadow.

Nobody can go back and start a new beginning but anyone can start today and make a new ending.

When life throws you lemons, make lemonade!

If your problems are dragging you down, think of a bow and arrow. the Bow is your problems and the arrow is your life. The bow is dragging youfurther and further back, but the further back it pulls you, the higher the arrow will fly. So the further you are being dragged back by your problems,the higher you’ll reach in your life when the problems are over and let go.

Rise above the storm and then you’ll find the sunshine.

Only when it is dark enough, can you see the stars.

Breakdowns can cause breakthroughs, sometimes things need to fall apart so they can fall together.

You can’t see the rainbow without any rain.

When your life is in turmoil, think of a waterfall. The water (your life) is flowing along normally at a steady pace when suddenly, there is a dip(event in your life or a problem) which results in the water going into a state of turmoil as it falls deeper and deeper with no sign of an end to theturmoil. Then the water hits the bottom and splashes into a larger state of turmoil (this is the peak before things start to get better) before graduallyblending into calm stream again (normality).

Hope you like them. They helped lift my spirits.x

There is thinking inside the box and thinking outside the box. In life we learn to think inside the box, building on what we have learnt from others,yet some start by thinking outside the box and achieve more in doing so. All thoughts inside that box were started by those thinking outside the box.

Hey all! I didn’t even know this site existed, but while doing a little research for quotes for a new story I’m writing, I stumbled upon it. Really, Iloved all the quotes and quite a few that were in the comments section here. I have a few to add that I’m sure no one has heard before unless theywere in my ninth grade biology class lol.

“Even on your worst days, you are still a miracle.” – Mrs. Ruth Dunivan over the reason behind reproduction and acidic attraction

“I’m not a well known author, but I always write. Therefore I am a writer and author without the critics biting at my heels.” – unknown

“We are like the fuzzy things that live in the locker in Men in Black, the only difference is we don’t care about the time…we worship our goals.” –Michael Bridges

I hope that these quotes help! I found them great when I first heard them.

i also has have a lot of unfair things in lihe,, growing without my bo th parents on my side was one of the hardest predicament i have incountered,,and those qoutes helped me a lot to stay on, hold on and go on even if it seems like i wanted to give up..here is my own qoutes i made,,” As i get older, I learned that, no matter how hard and dark your past is, its still up to us if we will to choose to getbetter or stay bitter, we are the driver of our life and no matter how deeply wounded we are by the people sorounds us, to have a better life is s tillup to our dicission.

Thank you for these quotes Ellesse. I know it has been quite a while since this was posted but I just stumbled across them and I thought all of thesequotes were inspiring. Unfortunately, I did not get the time to read all of the comments today but I hope to change that soon. I would have severalquotes to tell you but when I started to think of inspirational quotes I could only think of the one that has helped me through some difficult times inlife. I don’t know if it is considered inspirational, but it was to me. In fact, it was so inspirational that my high school graduation present from mymother was a ring engraved with this quote:

“The best way out is always through”

This is actually taken from one of Robert Frost’s poems and I hope you can understand why I find it inspirational.
