I’m always on the look-out for great motivational quotes that I know/hope will have an effect on people.
Hopefully these 10 quotes will make something jump inside of you!

3. In our society, those who are, in reality, superior in intelligence can be accepted by their fellows only if they pretend they are not. -Marya Mannes (Bonus: “Tact is the art of convincing people that they know more than you do.” -Raymond Mortimer)
4. If we could learn how to balance rest against effort, calmness against strain, quiet against turmoil, we would assure ourselves of joy in living and psychological health for life. -Josephine Rathbone
5. I have always had a dread of becoming a passenger in life. -Margareth II, Queen of Denmark
6. Flaming enthusiasm, backed up by horse sense and persistence, is the quality that most frequently makes for success. -Dale Carnegie
7. You need to claim the events in your life to make yourself yours. When you truly possess all you have been and done, which may take some time, you are fierce with reality. -Florida Scott-Maxwell
8. It is the greatest shot of adrenaline to be doing what you’ve wanted to do so badly. -Charles Lindbergh

Namrata,
I’ve been drowning in being busy. SO MUCH to do each day I rarely have time for anything. This site is something I do on the side, so lately I’ve just not had time to send out any new quotes or do any good meaningful posts. I hope to get back on track this week.
Nice quotes.
#10 gets my vote
I love all your quotes I always look forward to them, I’m created a small booklet for referal to all the ones that stand out to me, I copy and print them and put them on my book of possibilities.
That’s a great idea, Veliswa. I have tons of little books with the same things. Thanks
I’m a big believer that the virtue of WISDOM has greater value than the gift of intellect. One of the challenges we face as a nation is our reliance upon brainy technocrats in positions of trust instead of sage statesmen. We have become enamored with what is SMART instead of what is WISE. Perhaps we would be better served if we search for the next Solomon rather than hope for the next Einstein.
I live the quotes! They resonate with my personal journey!
Great to hear, Marian! Happy to help. Tell me more about your journey.
I enjoy thoroughly,the quotes and would be so grateful if I could receive the inspirational ones in my emails! Thank you so much!
