There is no better way to prime your mind for great things to come than filling your head and hear with the greatest inspirational quotes that the world has ever known.

Of course, the challenge is finding the best inspirational quotes to draw from.

Well, here you go …

Inspirational Quotes Jump Start

Here are a few of my favorites inspirational quotes to get you started:

Dr. Seuss

“It is not length of life, but depth of life.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

These inspirational quotes are living breathing collections.  I periodically sweep them to reflect new additions, and I re-organize or re-style the quotes if I find a better way.

I invest a lot of time on quotes because I’ve learned the following simple truth:

Quotes change lives.

The right words, at the right time, can be just that little bit you need, to breakthrough or get unstuck, or find your mojo again.

    I like it when you highlight multiple quote collections which allows us to explore more than just a narrow set of emotions. For example, when you presented Inspirational and Leadership quotes here it also lead me to Productivity and Focus quotes on Sources of Insight. Thanks J.D Meier
