Here are some other inspiring quotes you might like.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? #<Author:0x00007fcf554671f8>
CONFIDENCE
She read books as one would breathe air, to fill up and live. #<Author:0x00007fcf554554a8>
LITERACY
In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed; it must be achieved. #<Author:0x00007fcf5543f680>
JUSTICE
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 other’s 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. #<Author:0x00007fcf5548cf98>
KINDNESS
Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold. #<Author:0x00007fcf55477328>
LOVE
Pray not for easy lives, pray to be stronger men. #<Author:0x00007fcf554c5a50>
STRENGTH
The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don’t wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope. #<Author:0x00007fcf554b41b0>
HOPE
Embrace uncertainty. Some of the most beautiful chapters in our lives won’t have a title until much later. #<Author:0x00007fcf5549e298>
SPREAD YOUR WINGS
I haven’t a clue how my story will end, but that’s all right. When you set out on a journey and night covers the road, that’s when you discover the stars. #<Author:0x00007fcf554ec4c0>
SPREAD YOUR WINGS
Falling down is part of life. Getting back up is living. #<Author:0x00007fcf554d6d00>
DETERMINATION
You're only responsible for being honest, not for someone else's reaction to your honesty. #<Author:0x00007fcf55528ee8>
HONESTY
It is one of the most beautiful compensations of life, that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself. #<Author:0x00007fcf555136b0>
HELPING OTHERS
Aim to make a difference in someone’s life every single day, including your own. #<Author:0x00007fcf554fdb80>
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Mindfulness is the aware, balanced acceptance of the present experience... It is opening to or receiving the present moment, pleasant or unpleasant, just as it is, without either clinging to it or rejecting it. #<Author:0x00007fcf55550178>
MINDFULNESS
Fitness is not about being better than someone else. It’s about being better than you used to be. #<Author:0x00007fcf5553a5d0>
FITNESS
The time is always right to do what is right. #<Author:0x00007fcf55588d70>
