  1. I was actually searching for inspirational quotes for tough times when i found this page and actually i did not know that you write about these things also.
    Really great list, and thanks for compiling and sharing :)

        1. Oh my goodness – do I need to hear that one this week!
          I’m jotting that on down, Ali, for ’30 Quotes – Part II’, my friend.
          Thanks for sharing that one with me.

  2. Hi Martin!
    Thank-you for the post. It’s amazing how a simple sentence can enable a shift in perception and make things clear. I especially LOVED #4. It’s come into play on several occasions for me.

    1. So glad you found my thoughts interesting, Dana.
      I’m intrigued now by ‘The perfect time to start something never arrives’ and your own space.
      How has this come into play for you?

  3. These quotes are great. They are worth looking for when in tough conditions. One of my favorites here is ‘Adversity is the fact of life. We can’t control it, we can only control to how to react to it. Its true that we face so much and all depends on how we take life that is shaping infront of us. Instead of giving up, we can have hope because it is what keeps us going.

    1. So glad you like them vicky.
      I know a lot of people, myself included, sometimes reach a point where doubts creep in. It’s at those moments that I reach into my bag of inspirational quotes so I can reignite my passion and positive energy to keep going.

  4. Thank you so much for sharing these with us, Martin.
    I don’t know what you went through to gather them all up but they are very powerful words and I agree with you that words can certainly help us move through those touch times in life.

    I’ve got my own list that I often reflect on.
    “Never give up on anyone. Miracles happen every day” is a great one. We often seem to give up on the people we should be loving even more. Sound advice.

    1. So glad you enjoyed and got something from them, Nicky.
      I know they have really helped me recently in getting through a few challenges and hope they help others too.
      Words can be powerful reinforcements in what we’re all trying to reach in today’s world.
