Inspirational Power Quotes

Services for Real Estate Pros with R & D Art

In today's time and age, we all look for inspirations. It does not take us very long to find those very inspirations if we truly want them. Many great speakers throught the ages have said many profound things. So, I just thought that I would take the time to put together a few that I liked and share them with all my friends on ActiveRain. Fell free to share some of your own favorites with us.

People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in the world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, make them.
- George Bernard Shaw  

Success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person you become.
- Jim Rohn  

 "In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins, not through strength but by perseverance."
-- H. Jackson Brown  

"I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle-victorious."
-- Vince Lombardi

Excellent quotes!  Jim Rohn is one of my favorites!  Have you heard his quote regarding the wind being the wind and that there is nothing you can do about it, the only thing you can do is to adjust the set of your sails?  Or something to that effect!  That's for the reminder!

I Like this quote "Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength."

Danny- Here's another from my collection of quotes.

I don't know if this is considered inspirational but I made one up from a personal experience: "You choose the day to forgive someone, even if that someone is yourself"
