Truly inspirational…I really like Brian Tracy, Henry Ford, and Napoleon Hill’s quotes. they have sense and can be related to whats happening in reality.
Thanks for this list. Though I already know some of them before, it reminded me more to get more serious in achieving success..
You’re most welcome Richard…
I’m glad you found it helpful someway or another in achieving your success. Sometimes it’s a good reminder that we must take our online business seriously if we want to be successful.
Good luck with your business venture!
I would add another quote, supposedly by Gandhi:
At first they ignore you,
Then they laugh at you,
Then they fight you,
Then you win.
Cheers!

I love the Yoda quote. Here’s one of my favorites. “Success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person you become”. – Jim Rohn
Thanks, Tom
Good one Tom! Thanks for sharing one of your favorite inspirational quote with us.
These are truly the finest quotes and I also want to add a quote:
“Success always begins with a fellows will, the man who wins who think he can.”
The rocky balboa quote is probably one of my all time quotes. Granted im a big “Rocky” fan, however this quote just heats me up and makes me feel like i can do anything!
thanks for the inspirational post.
You’re welcome! Great to see a Rocky Balboa fan here on my site.
Those really are very inspiring quotes. I like them all, but this is my favorite.
“I have not failed 10,000 times. I have successfully found 10,000 ways that will not work. – Thomas A. Edison”
It’s a very positive outlook regarding failure, or the lack of it. Thanks for sharing.
Inspirational and Motivational quotes are very important. Just listening to one before you start the day makes you feel ready to taken on anything. Nice collection
Whew! I thought nothing can lift my exhausting and sulking mood, thanks to this my spirit is uplifted! This quote is my favorite: “I have not failed 10,000 times. I have successfully found 10,000 ways that will not work.” by Sir Thomas Edison. I didn’t think it took him numerous failures before he succeeded. His optimism is giving him to my faltering spirit!
Shercy, that’s one of my favorite quotes as well. It’s a great reminder that success is going to take a lot of perseverance and determination.
OMG, the first one, the Brian Tracy quote is awesome. I LOVE Brian Tracy so so so so so much. I’m actually in the process of putting that exact quote on my door room wall right now, so that’s really funny, hahahaha.
That’s a great idea! Putting a poster on your room door or wall really helps lift your spirit up whenever you or somebody walks into your room.
Speaking of posters, I found a couple of great inspirational and motivational posters here. Hmm, I think I might order some of these.
Excellent article! Constant reminders that we are not alone out there and that, if we think we can, we can, if we think can’t we can’t, either way we are right! Thank you Henry Ford! Thank you Tom!
Wow! We love the Chinese proverb about taking one step. For the readers of our site, this is ever so true and we appreciate you sharing your inspirational quotes. Definitely made me motivated! Thanks!

Thanks for noticing! As a matter of fact, I have over 400 quotes scheduled automatically to post on my Twitter profile 3 times a day; every 8 hours. I’m pretty sure that is not too many quote tweets per day. I haven’t receive any complaints yet and most of my followers appreciate it and actually enjoy it!
I’m a big fan of inspirational and motivational quotes. So if you follow me on Twitter, you’ll get to see my tweets.
After reading these inspirational quotes nothing is impossible in this world anyone can do anything. I like all 20. Please keep sharing this type of stuff.
All of them are inspiring quotes! Thank you for sharing these quotes…
I have just start to learn basic internet marketing, sometimes still feel confused about which one I should focus on or where I should start… still paving my way though :p
Great inspirational quotes! I’d have to say the Thomas Edison quotes are my favorites, he is a great role model for persistence.
a good post we can called it as a motivational post
thanks for posting.
Thanks Tom, these are highly motivational quotes to empower you. Your clear commentary and suggested phrasing are most impressive and i thank your generosity in sharing these inspirational quotes.
Cheers;
Jenny
These are really inspiring and it build the confidence of someone. These are needed when you are starting a business and running it.
Some inspirational quotes to live by… thanks for sharing, Tom!
I am especially fond of Mr Rich Dad Poor Dad’s take that success depends on what you do today, and not on what you do tomorrow. “Do it now” is a great motto to live and work by and I can not recommend adopting this mindset enough to people. It really gives you the power to take charge of yourself and the situation if you adopt this.
Thank you for a nice dose of inspiration on a chilly winter afternoon. I salute you!
Really inspiring quotes.It could help to those people to build self-management while searching online.
Robert
Thnx a lot for you’re insparational list. Always good for something to hold ond to!
I like this one : “Your future is created by what you do today, not tomorrow.”
I think your first one by Brian Tracy is so relevant – as long as you persist. Everywhere around me I see people who had a business idea of so much potential just give up! No! Just keep on getting your message out there and team up with other marketers to build your success with inspiration!
I love motivational and inspirational quotes. Out of the above,the one I like most is “I have not failed 10,000 times. I have successfully found 10,000 ways that will not work”. Once a week I send a motivational story to my friends and colleagues.
Thank you Tom for your blog.
Great quotes. I like to read things like this every morning to inspire me for the coming day.
I always like quotes by Napoleon Hill. His work is truly inspirational!
He who works his land will have abundant food (Proverbs 16)
Rocky Balboa?? I only can remember ADRIANAAA!!
Tom, this is an absolutely superb collection of wisdom. Thank you very much. I would like to add two of my favorite powerful quotes.
Archimedes – “Give me a lever long enough and a prop strong enough and I can single-handedly move the world.”
Napoleon Hill – “Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve.”
I hope you keep spreading the positive vibes Tom!
“I have not failed 10,000 times. I have successfully found 10,000 ways that will not work. – Thomas A. Edison”
Hahaha! Yes that quote is pretty good.
This is my personal motivational message.
We didn’t come to this world by chance but came because there is a reason for our been here..lean to identify your purpose on earth and work towards it till you achieve well,with hard work and determination you will surely get there. Rosalin Abigail Kyere-Nartey 2011
Great quotes. Thanks for sharing..
I’ve never actually thought about using such useful quotes to deal with a bad or pessimistic feeling (that I do have a lot lately, by the way). So I would essentially say that this all article has been inspirational for me.
These are some great quotes on confidence. And I like how you snuck a quote from Rocky Balboa in there.
One of the funny quotes I know is a man who has no ears will not wear any glasses
thanks for your inspirational quotes tom!
Napolean Hill’s quotation spoke to me!! I sometimes get discouraged by the fire behind all that I do but this quote brought this all back into perspective. : )
