Motivation and Inspiration

MOTIVATION/INSPIRATION

"Spiritual values transcend the material artifacts that we can touch and see. They take us into the realm of beauty, inspiration and love." -- Nido Qubein
"Motivation is always in direct proportion to the level of expectation." -- Denis Waitley
"Inspiration comes of working every day." -- Charles Baudelaire
"The greatest composer does not sit down to work because he is inspired, but becomes inspired because he is working." -- Ernest Newman

OPPORTUNITIES
"Opportunity often comes disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat." -- Napoleon Hill
"There's no way you can look into the game of life and determine whether or not you'll get that big break tomorrow or whether it will take another week, month, year or even longer. But it will come!" -- Zig Ziglar
"The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes." -- Benjamin Disraeli
"Out of clutter, find Simplicity. From discord, find Harmony. In the middle of difficulty lies Opportunity." -- Albert Einstein

OVERCOMING FAILURE
"Admitting error clears the score, and proves you wiser than before." -- Arthur Guiterman
"Failure is only postponed success as long as courage coaches ambition. The habit of persistence is the habit of victory." -- Herbert Kaufman
"Whenever you make a mistake or get knocked down by life, don't look back at it too long. Mistakes are life's way of teaching you. Your capacity for occasional blunders is inseparable from your capacity to reach your goals. No one wins them all, and your failures, when they happen, are just part of your growth. Shake off your blunders. How will you know your limits without an occasional failure? Never quit. Your turn will come." -- Og Mandino
"Forget past mistakes. Forget failures. Forget everything except what you're going to do now and do it." -- William Durant
