Inspiration
A collection of inspiring quotes, shared by other pilgrims as well as found in literature.
I love quotes. The ones you give me, the ones I chance upon whilst reading, or meeting people. Here are a few; deep or light, futile or philosophical, they inspire me.
There is no path to happiness,
happiness is the path.
You can’t grow without a fight
The weakness of strength is to only believe in strength
I slept and dreamt that life was joy.
I woke up and saw that life was service.
I acted and behold, service was joy. .
It’s not any more surprising to be born twice than it is to be born once!
Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.
Be the change that you wish to see in the world
We live in the oblivion of our transformations
What I know about someone stops me knowing him.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results
It doesn’t matter what has been made of us, what matters is what we do with what has been done to us.
The important thing is not so much to have many years in life,
But many years of life.
Life is limited in length, but not in width
Utopia is what hasn’t been tried yet
Where peril grows, grows also that which will save us
You cannot enslave the walking man
No wind is favorable to the one who doesn’t know where he’s going
It’s not because things are difficult that we dare not venture.
It’s because we dare not venture that they are difficult.
When the winds of change blow, some people build walls and others build windmills
You only get one chance to make a good first impression
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step
Impose your luck,
Serve your happiness
And meet your risk,
By watching you, they’ll get used to it
