I would like to give my perspective on an inspiring quote.
Any quote is as inspiring as any other. A person is bothered to quote a quote when he has sufficiently worked hard to mark first milestone in his life. His first achievement may not reach masses but leaves hardly with his friends. He does not give up. Consistent hard work with commitment will, someday, make his voice noticeable Till that day no one but him bothers to derive the real meaning of his quotes during his initial stages.
On the other hand, not everyone would be able to appreciate all quotes equally well. It is only when one had overcome a severe storm at some part of his lifetime can he able to feel, or I say, deserve the quote.
Here are some inspiring quotes I read recently.
1.“You have two choices. you can keep running and hiding and blaming the world for your problems, or you can stand up for yourself and decide to be somebody important.”
― Sidney Sheldon
2.Whatever happened, it happened for good.
Whatever is happening is happening for good.
Whatever that will happen, it will be for good.
What have you lost for which you cry?
What did you bring with you, which you have lost?
What did you produce, which has destroyed?
You did not bring anything when you were born.
Whatever you have, you have received from Him.
Whatever you will give, you will give to Him.
You came empty handed and you will go the same way.
Whatever is yours today was somebody else’s yesterday and will be somebody else’s tomorrow.
Change is the law of Universe.
3.If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives & maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery-isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And you will do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.
4. "Only dead fish swim with the stream"
5."life will defend itself no matter how small it is"
6. In the movie How Do You Know (2010) starring Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd and Owen Wilson. Reese's character Lisa has an appointment with a psychiatrist but has to run off before the session begins. Here's an excerpt of the conversation they have:
Lisa: So I was just wondering if there was one general thing that you've found over the years to be generally true in a general way that would help anyone in any situation?
Psychiatrist: That's a great question, yes, I would say figure out what you want and learn how to ask for it.
Lisa: OK. Those are both really hard.
That reply by the Psychiatrist has always stuck in my mind.

Plus:
In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love.
In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile.
In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm.
I realized, through it all, that…
In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.
And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.
- Albert Camus
