The following are some inspirational quotes that I’ve recently come across.
Winners compare their achievements with their goals, while losers compare their achievements with those of other people.
Nido Qubein
To accomplish great things, we must dream as well as act.
Anatole France
We learn wisdom from failure much more than success. We often discover what we will do, by finding out what we will not do.
Samuel Smiles
If you observe a really happy man you will find him building a boat, writing a symphony, educating his son, growing double dahlias in his garden, or looking for dinosaur eggs in the Gobi desert. He will not be searching for happiness as if it were a collar button that has rolled under the radiator. He will not be striving for it as a goal in itself. He will have become aware that he is happy in the course of living life twenty-four crowded hours of the day.
W. Beran Wolfe
I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.
Thomas Edison

There is a wonderful mythical law of nature that the three things we crave most in life — happiness, freedom, and peace of mind — are always attained by giving them to someone else.

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
If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten.
Tony Robbins
My richness consists not in the extent of my possessions, but in the fewness of my wants.
J. Brotherton
I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.
Thomas Edison
Work like you don’t need the money. Love like you’ve never been hurt. Dance like nobody’s watching.
Mark Twain
Imagination is more important than knowledge for while knowledge defines everything we know, imagination points to all we might yet discover and create.
Albert Einstein
Most people have no idea of the giant capacity we can immediately command when we focus all of our resources on mastering a single area of our lives.
Tony Robbins
If you hear a voice within you say “you cannot paint,” then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.
Vincent Van Gogh
He who fears being conquered is sure of defeat.
Napoleon Bonaparte
But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads?
Albert Camus
The world is full of people looking for spectacular happiness while they snub contentment.
Doug Larson
Worrying is using your imagination to create something you do not want.
Esther and Jerry Hicks
It’s natural to be afraid of something you’ve never done before, but it’s not wise to let that stop you.
Tom Hopkins

Thanks for sharing these quotes… lovely.
I have to say I particularly agree with Conway March, Tonny Robbins and Thomas Edison. These ways of thinking, I believe, are necessary in order to get real joy and learning out of life.
