As we enjoy our weekend, lets not forget that which drives us most, ourselves. These quotes should help with inspiration to come Monday morning! I know I need all the inspiration I can get by then 
Michelangelo on hard work: “If people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn’t seem so wonderful after all.”
Margaret Young on motivation: “Often people attempt to live their lives backwards: they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want so that they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then, do what you need to do, in order to have what you want.”
Teddy Roosevelt on living: “Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.”
William Jennings Bryan on destiny: “Destiny is not a matter of chance. It is a matter of choice: it is not to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.”
Nikos Kazantzakis on believing: “By believing passionately in something that does not yet exist, we create it. The nonexistent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired.”
Buddha on work ethic: “Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it.”
Pablo Picasso on success: “My mother said to me, “If you become a soldier, you’ll be a general, if you become a monk you’ll end up as the pope.” Instead, I became a painter and wound up as Picasso.”
I think somebody has censored that statue of David on the right: something is missing…
Nice quotes, Jane! My favorite will be by Pablo Picasso.
Let me share some of my other favorites:
G.W. Bush on expectations: “One of the common denominators I have found is that expectations rise above that which is expected.”
G.W. Bush on processed world: “Oftentimes, we live in a processed world – you know, people focus on the process and not results.”
LOL…yeah, yours truly…I made it rated PG…hehe
I like those quotes they are quite inspirational. They relate well to anythign relative to blogging.. and anything in life i guess lol.
Right on! I love the quote by Bryan. You steer a lot of your own “destiny”. You choose it, you make it happen.
That’s my favorite of the bunch also.
I think that I most enjoy Teddy Roosevelt’s quote, but they were all very good. It’s very similar to the idea that if you do not try, then you will never succeed. He just said it more eloquently.
Thanks for finding all of them and giving people a little bit of inspiration today.
I like most the quote from William Jennings Bryan on destiny: “Destiny is not a matter of chance. It is a matter of choice: it is not to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.â€

Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe, and enthusiastically act upon… must inevitably come to pass!

I use to inspect the home of William Jennings Bryan back when I was a fire alarm inspector in Lincoln, Nebraska.
His life was certainly reflective of a bias for action.
Thanks for pulling together all of these quotes!
Keep creating…it freaks people out,
Mike
Thanks for the motivation! Picasso ended up a general of art.
