52 Inspirational Quotes how to be encouraged quotes

There have been times in my life when a simple line written by some other human on a page has transformed my life. One of my heroes, Ralph Waldo Emerson, once wrote, ‘I hate quotations. Tell me what you know’, and yet he is now one of the most quoted philosophers in the world today.

What is it about quotes?

I find that people respond positively to my quotes more readily than they do to my longer articles. Is it that it strikes a chord in our heart? Or is it that we live in such a fast paced world that we can only handle a small amount of information at once? With the advent of Twitter and its restriction of messages to no longer than 140 characters, I believe that quotes will become even more popular in the years to come.

But one thing is true, and that is – that armed with powerful quotations, we can be reminded of something that will inspire us and motivate us to press on with the dreams we have and the goals that we are pursuing. In one sense I see them as vitamin pills for our mind that will sustain us all the way to victory.
