Thirteen Quotes that Inspire Me
- Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
- It is not what happens that determines the major part of your future. What happens, happens to us all. It is what you do about what happens that counts. – Jim Rohn
- Some of us are timid. We think we have something to lose so we don’t try for that next hill. – Maya Angelou
- If you want to be respected by others, the great thing is to respect yourself. Only by that, only by self-respect, will you compel others to respect you. – Fyodor Dostoyevsky

- The problem is not that there are problems. The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem. – Theodore Rubin
- The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something. It’s as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer. – Nolan Bushnell
- Results are often obtained by impetuosity and daring which could never have been obtained by ordinary methods. – Niccolo Machiavelli
