Inspiration Quotes

“Inspiration comes from so many things that it's hard to define what that is or when it happens. It's always been a strong feeling that comes over me in a given moment, and it feels like hope, desire, strength, magic, excitement. A supreme motivation to create or do something special. To win for love.”

“It is very hard to enroll people in anything. And there is a very big difference between the words motivate and inspire. Motivation means we have an idea and we are going to carry through on that idea. We work hard at it, and we are disciplined. A highly motivated person takes an idea, goes out there, and won't let anybody interfere with them. Inspiration is exactly the opposite. If motivation is when you get hold of an idea and carry it through to its conclusion, inspiration is the reverse. An idea gets hold of you and carries you where you are intended to go.”

“Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.”

“A great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.”

“Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.”

“Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.”

“Believe you can and you're halfway there.”
