I never cease to be amazed at how something as simple as a quote can hold so much power. They may inspire us for an hour, a day, a week, or even change our lives completely. Powerful quotations may even help you make decisions about your life, love, career, and relationships. They can help you persevere, overcome adversity, boost your mood, achieve goals, start your day on the right foot, or turn a bad day around. 


The right words can warm your heart, generate inner peace, provide clarity, and give you a new perspective on life and the strength to go on during difficult times. They may also fill you with hope and remind you that others have felt the same as you do -- realizing you are not alone. 


Take this quote for example, " A quotation at the right moment is like bread in a famine ." - Talmud, as case in point. Indeed, a quote can provide us with sustenance to support our very existence and quench the thirst of a parched and weary traveler in the journey of life. 


One of the greatest aspects of inspiration is that it is contagious. We can pass it along to everyone we come in contact with. When we feel inspired, it rubs off on the people around us, and then the people who surround them, and so on. 


Not only that, but it also grows bigger within ourselves, feeding on itself and creating a positive feedback loop, whereby we feel validated, encouraged, and capable of achieving our goals, which then creates more inspiration. The more you fill your mind with positive and uplifting words and thoughts, the brighter your days will be. 


Even better is the fact that the benefits you acquire from reading an inspiring quote are instantaneous and require little investment of time. You feel imbued with new life and vitality immediately upon reading, and it takes only minutes to achieve. And it costs you absolutely nothing. 


So, whether you're down and out, under the weather, having a bad day, going through a difficult life phase, facing a crises, overwhelmed with day to day frustrations, or simply looking for a little pick me up, these quotations can be just the ticket you're looking for. Here are some of the quotes I have found throughout the course of my life that have moved me deeply.
