Inspirational Quotes

My little collection of quotes that I use as a source of inspiration and motivation.

Sources are random and vast. Quotes come from both famous and not so famous humans. Each quote earned its place here. Each is beautiful.

Take your time reading them. Do not rush. Love them. Hate them. Share them.

Meditate on them either with a cup of freshly brewed coffee, a glass of water or nothing at all. Whatever it is that your heart desires.

I am happy because I am growing daily and I am honestly not knowing where the limit lies”

. . . Ron Dennis, former CEO of McLaren

"It requires commitment and application. If you want to get a decent mark or a degree and to work in a professional life, that is what you need to show anyway. There are not short cuts., there is only concentration and application. But believe me, it is worth it"
