The Perfect Quotation Can Make Your Day.

This is a compilation of quotations I find inspiring. Not only do they ring with truth, but they serve as reminders for what I expect, deserve, and appreciate from life.

I like to send fitting quotations to a great friend of mine (he really seems to enjoy it and it spurs great conversations between us). I've chosen the following quotations from the list I've sent him.


"The unselfish effort to bring cheer to others will be the beginning of a happier life for ourselves." -Helen Keller

"The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." -Winston Churchill

"There are no shortcuts to any place worth going." -Unknown

"What reason weaves, by passion is undone." -Alexander Pope

"Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society. The optimist invents the airplane and the pessimist the parachute." -G.B. Stern

"Celebrate we will, because life is short but sweet for certain." -Dave Matthews Band

"Know the true value of time; snatch, seize and enjoy every moment of it. No idleness...never put off till tomorrow what you can do today." -Lord Chesterfield

"When things go wrong, don't go with them." -Elvis Presley

"No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow." -Alice Walker

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." -Eleanor Roosevelt

"Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for kindness." -Anonymous

"If there is no struggle, there is no progress." -Frederick Douglass

"With courage you will dare to take risks, have the strength to be compassionate, and the wisdom to be humble. Courage is the foundation of integrity." -Keshavan Nair

"Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising everytime we fail." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

"I am not discouraged because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward." -Thomas Alva Edison

Another of my favorites is the motto from my school - "When you reach the top of the Mountain, climb higher!" It is also an Asian proverb.

I like the Elvis one too! I also like to modify it to: "When things go right, do go with them."
