I love collecting famous quotes. I am an avid collector of quotes. I've a collection of over 2000 quotes on my personal computer. I love them for the fact that they cheer me up when I am down. They give me courage when things seems gloomy. They motivate me and inspire me when I am feeling blue. They help me adopt positive attitude towards life and kick out all negativity far away from my life. In this page, I've gathered best motivational life quotes from various resources. I visited various websites and books to collect these quotes. I hope you enjoyed reading them as much as I've enjoyed collecting them.
Life becomes religious whenever we make it so: when some new light is seen, when some deeper appreciation is felt, when some larger outlook is gained, when some nobler purpose is formed, when some task is well done.
SOPHIA LYON FAHS
The World's a bubble, and the Life of Man less than a span: In his conception wretched, from the womb so to the tomb. Curst from his cradle, and brought up to years with cares and fears. Who then to frail mortality shall trust, But limns the water, or but writes in dust.
Francis Bacon
Like the elephant, we are unconscious of our own strength. When it comes to understanding the power we have to make a difference in our own lives, we might as well be asleep. If you want to make your dreams come true, wake up. Wake up to your own strength. Wake up to the role you play in your own destiny. Wake up to the power you have to choose what you think, do, and say.
Keith Ellis, Bootstraps

Man is immortal; therefore he must die endlessly. For life is a creative idea; it can only find itself in changing forms"

Inner change affects whatever we do in our lives, and if we change enough, it eventually makes us reflect upon how we live it and what the purpose of our life is.

The be-all and end-all of life should not be to get rich, but to enrich the world.
B. C. Forbes
"Life is a game. In order to have a game, something has to be more important than something else. If what already is, is more important than what isn't, the game is over. So, life is a game in which what isn't, is more important than what is. Let the good times roll."
~Werner Erhard~
Sometimes I lie awake at night, and I ask, “Where have I gone wrong?” Then a voice says to me, “This is going to take more than one night.”
Charles M. Schulz
1922 — 2000
Start living now. Stop saving the good china for that special occasion. Stop withholding your love until that special person materializes. Every day you are alive is a special occasion. Every minute, every breath, is a gift from God.
Mary Manin Morrissey
"How far you go n life depends on you being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these." ~ George Washington Carver
Everyone is necessarily the hero of his own life story.
John Barth
Experience is the name every one gives to their mistakes.
~Oscar Wilde
To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
Just because you are seventy is no excuse to give up and let others make your decisions for you. The fact that you are still alive is reason enough to believe that you are here for a purpose; and that purpose is to learn, to teach, and to GIVE.
Thomas D. Willhite
