Inspirational Life Quotes

If I can, by a lucky chance, in these uneasy days, rub out one wrinkle from the brow of care, or beguile the heavy heart of one moment of sadness; if I can, how and then, prompt a happier view of human nature, and make my reader more in good humour with his fellow-beings and himself, surely, I shall not have written in vain.

--Washington Irving

--Coleridge

The comfort of having a friend may be taken away, but not that of having had one.
--Seneca

Life is made up, not of great sacrefices or duties, but of little things, in which smiles and kindness and small obligations, given habitually, are what win and preserve the heart and secure comfort.
--Sir Humphry Davy

Age appeare to be best in four things--old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read.
--Bacon

Remember this, and also be persuaded of its truth-the future is not in the hands of fate, but in ourselves.
--Jules Jusserand

Kindness is the golden chain by which society is bound together.
--Goethe

The measure of a man's life is the well spending of it, and not the length.

Inspirational Life Quotes

--Shelly

It matters not what you are thought to be, but what you are.
--Syrus

We can never judge a soul above the high water mark of our own.
--Maeterlinck

I shall pass through this world but once. If, therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do, let me do it now: let me not defer it or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.

True happiness consists not in the multitude of friends, but in the worth and choice.
--Jonson

No one really knows happiness who has not suffered, and the redeemed are happier than the elect.
--Amiel

Happiness in this world, when it comes, comes incidentally. Make it the object of pursuit, and it leads us on a wild-goose chase, and is never attained. Follow some other object, and very possibly we may find that we have caught happiness without dreaming of it.
--Hawthorne

Happiness depends, as Nature shows, less on exterior things than most suppose.

Inspirational Life Quotes

Virtue and learning, like gold, have their intrinsic value: but if they are not polished, they certainly lose a great deal of their luster: and even polished brass will pass upon more people than rough gold.
--Lord Chesterfield

A free mind is a great thing no doubt, but loftiness of heart, belief in goodness, capacity for enthusiasm and devotion, the thirst after perfection and holiness, are greater still.
--Amiel

True bravery is shown by performing without witness what one might be capable of doing before all of the world.
--La Rochefoucauld

Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.
--Lincoln
Inspirational Life Quotes

All great art is the expression of man's delight in God's work, not his own.
--Ruskin

Words are instruments of music; an ignorant man uses them for jargon; but when a master touches them they have unexpected life and soul. Some words sound out like drums; some breathe memories sweet as flutes; some call like a clarionet; some show a charge like trumpets; some are sweet as children's talk; others rich as a mother's answering back.
--Anonymous

He who is plenteously provided for from within needs but little from without.
--Goethe

No pleasure is comparable to the standing upon the vantage-ground of truth.
--Bacon

Like a great poet, nature produces the greatest results with the simplest means. There are simply a sun, flowers, water, and love.
--Heine

Not till the fire is dying in the grate, look we for any kinship with the stars.
--Meredith

Today may there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.
--Unknown
