Inspirational quotes about life

Gandhi: Live and Learn




"Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams."
Ashley Smith

"The 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 cannot 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 is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes."
Charles. R. Swindol

"Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today." James Dean

"The most important things in life aren't things"
Anthony J. D'Angelo

"Our attitude toward life determines life's attitude towards us."
John N. Mitchell

"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

Quotations On Happiness

Inspirational quotes about happiness

"Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."
Abraham Lincoln

"One day at a time--this is enough. Do not look back and grieve over the past for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful it will be worth remembering."

"Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared."
Buddha quotes

"The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny."
Albert Ellis

"Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same."
Francesca Reigler


  • "Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections." Anon

"Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending." Maria Robinson

"If you wait to do everything until you're sure it's right, you'll probably never do much of anything."
Win Borden

"A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new."
Albert Einstein

"The question for each man to settle is not what he would do if he had means, time, influence and educational advantages; the question is what he will do with the things he has. The moment a young man ceases to dream or to bemoan his lack of opportunities and resolutely looks his conditions in the face, and resolves to change them, he lays the corner-stone of a solid and honorable success."
Hamilton Wright Mabie

“A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.”

Peter Marshall

"I really don't think life is about the I-could-have-beens. Life is only about the I-tried-to-do. I don't mind the failure but I can't imagine that I'd forgive myself if I didn't try." Nikki Giovanni

"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." George Bernard Shaw

"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 already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."
Steve Jobs

"Remember 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." Anon

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit.
Aristotle

"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever."
Mahatma Gandhi

On Relationships

Inspirational quotes about the relationships in your life

"Never waste a minute of your precious life by squandering it thinking about people you don't like"

"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."

"To 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."

"There are four questions of value in life. What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for, and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same. Only love."
-Johnny Depp

"Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier. "
Mother Teresa

What Would Keith Richards Do?: Daily Affirmations from a Rock and Roll Survivor

Amazon Price: $3.99 (as of 06/01/2012)Buy Now

What is a wise man? What is a prophet?
Someone with a strange, unflappable demeanor. Someone who speaks in cryptic koans, words whose meanings take years to unravel. Someone who has confronted death, God, sin, and the immortal soul. Someone unfit for this world, but too brilliant to depart it. Someone, in short, like Keith Richards.

A Final Inspirational Quote...

"How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world."

Anne Frank
