I came across some quotations recently and felt inspired to put together some of those that I found most inspiring. Personally, I don’t just enjoy reading them - I find them uplifting. The idea was to list my Top 10 quotations but unfortunately I couldn’t bring myself to leave out the eleventh.
So here are my Top 11 most inspirational quotations!
1. “He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.”
Muhammad Ali (Born Cassius Marcellus Clay Jnr in Louisville Kentucky. Widely considered the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time)
2. “Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it's not. It takes patience, it takes commitment and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won't. It's whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere.” Barack Obama (First African American President of the USA)
3. “Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.”

4. “Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.”

5. “Singleness of purpose is one of the chief essentials for success in life, no matter what may be one's aim.”
John D. Rockefeller (American industrialist who revolutionised the petroleum industry and became the world’s richest man of his time and the first American billionaire)
6. “Have the courage to say no. Have the courage to face the truth. Do the right thing because it is right. These are the magic keys to living your life with integrity.”
W. Clement Stone (An American businessman and author who promoted the Positive Me attitude in business and life to achieve success)
7. “As a general rule, the most successful man in life is the man who has the best information.”

8. “You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving.”

9. “Never before in history has innovation offered promise of so much to so many in so short a time.”

10. “Courage is the discovery that you may not win, and trying when you know you can lose.”
Tom Krause. (A very successful American motivational speaker and coach. He has written many books and believes in the following principle: Be Yourself - Believe in Yourself - Don't Be Afraid to Go for Your Dreams!)
11. “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 others’ 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. (CEO and co-founder of Apple - the world leader in the digital music industry and one of the most innovative companies in the world)
