Here is The Inspirational Wisdom From The Masters

Have you always wanted to do invent something, create something, improve the lives of other people, write a book, meet the partner of your dreams, and make more money. Here is some inspiration for you then.

These are some of my favorite quotations I've found over the years. There are thousands of quotations and you can find them in your local search engines like Yahoo or Google by typing and the word quotation or quotes. They remind me of great people's accomplishments throughout history. Keep in mind these people were no smarter than you are. It is the effort and determination to succeed that made these people successful.

I hope you enjoy these quotes as much as I do.

"Learn to smile at every situation. See it as an opportunity to prove your strength and ability" - Joe Brown

"In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity" - Albert Einstein

"Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work" - Thomas Edison

"Start by doing what's necessary, then what's possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible" - Francis of Assisi

"Fate knows where you are going, but it is up to you to drive there" - Michelle Keesling

"Ideas without action are worthless" - Harvey Mackay

"As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do" - Andrew Carnegie

"Success seems to be connected to action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit" - Conrad Hilton

"Your life will be no better than the plans you make and the action you take. You are the architect and builder of your own life, fortune, destiny" - Alfred A. Montapert

"Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish" - JOHN QUINCY ADAMS

"To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe" - ANATOLE FRANCE

"The world makes way for the man who knows where he is going" - RALPH WALDO EMERSON "Dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you're willing to pay the price" - VINCE LOMBARDI

"It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows" ? EPICTETUS

"Some men see things as they are and say, "Why?" I dream of things that never were and say, "Why not?" - GEORGE BERNARD SHAW

"When you meet someone better than yourself, turn your thoughts to becoming his equal. When you meet someone not as good as you are, look within and examine your own self" - CONFUCIUS

"Genius is only the power of making continuous efforts. The line between failure and success is so fine that we scarcely know when we pass it; so fine that we are often on the line and do not know it"-Elbert Hubbard

"Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation. Your character is what you really are while your reputation is merely what others think you are" - Dale Carnegie "Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune". - Jim Rohn

"Do not wait; the time will never be ''just right.'' Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along" - Napoleon Hill "It is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing. It is not how much we give, but how much love we put in the giving" - Mother Teresa

"It is common sense to take a method and try it; if it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something" - Franklin D. Roosevelt

"Never mistake motion for action" - Ernest Hemingway

"A good objective of leadership is to help those who are doing poorly to do well and to help those who are doing well to do even better" - Jim Rohn

Being the best you can be and achieving all your dreams is a life-long pursuit. No one ever completes what they want to in a lifetime. The most successful, persistent, and motivated people are those who continuously set goals for themselves. Always taken pride in their accomplishments and looking at their failures as life lessons. Never looking back at what was but always looking ahead and what is going to be.
