I was just looking on the web the other day for some motivational quotes. I wish I had written down all the quotes I have read or been told over the years.

Anyway, there are lots of sites that list motivational quotes but this site in particular had an interesting top 10. Many of these quotes I also feel are some of the best.

• “Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” ~Thomas Edison
• “Hitch your wagon to a star.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
• “If you knew how much work went into it, you wouldn’t call it genius.” ~Michelangelo
• “I know God will not give me anything I can’t handle. I just wish that He didn’t trust me so much.” ~Mother Teresa
• “If we did the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves.” ~Thomas Edison
• “All our dreams can come true – if we have the courage to pursue them.” ~Walt Disney
• “Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” ~Dr. Seuss
• “Success is never final. Failure is never fatal. It is courage that counts.” ~Winston Churchill
• “If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.” ~Henry David Thoreau
• The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. ~Eleanor Roosevelt

One that is not in this list is one of my very top quotes.  ”To know and not to do, is not to know at all!”

I find it a good idea to have some of your favourite quotes where you can see them or read them.

Go for your goals and dreams.

Make a list, write it down and go at them.
