Great collection of inspirational quotes. I was surprised at how many of these I had never encountered before.
Amazing quotes. Worth the read. There will always be one out there that is perfect for your current situation.
The moral: All great minds have one thing in common--the will. Will can carry you to dizzying heights; from nowhere to everywhere. If the will is there, nothing is insurmountable, nothing impossible.
Thank you for the wonderful collection here. As others have said, there were so many I had never read before and all were genuinely inspiring. Thank you for the boost of motivation that is necessary in starting something new!

What's the difference between motivation and inspiration? Motivation impels us to do; inspiration compels us to feel. A few rare things…and people…do both. ~ Scott Allen
I found lots of great wisdom in your quotes. I'll have to "borrow" a few.
I just spend almost a full hour reading and meditating on each and every
quote from all these great human beings. These wonderful collection of
thoughts could as well be contained in a small pocket book to carry around wherever we go, and basically read them whenever one needs a little boost of "inspirational motivation". Great job!!! -
It's not the work that is hard, it's the discipline.... Love this site!
Why is there nothing Jesus said on this list?
Great minds do indeed think alike!
Thank You
I appreciate all of the quotes above and especially this one by Larry Ellison "When you innovate, you've got to be prepared for everyone telling you you're nuts." -Larry Ellison
To read them is not enough though. We need to meditate upon them until we feel them in our hearts and spirits. We will than understand them and apply the wisdom within.
I was very inspired until getting to Maya Angelou's gutter mouth attempt at the profound. "Kick Ass", how profound.
No matter what you do; I strongly believe this 77 motivational thoughts can help you!
We are living in a highly competitive and challenging world. To stay relevant and contribute to the society, we need to constantly be positive and look at the bigger scheme of things.
All you're missing are some Warren Buffet quotes. Otherwise, great inspiring list.
That's inspiring and thanks for such great quotes....
When your glass is full quit pouring. I would rather know what's right than be right.
thanks for the great quotes.
Big minds make big history. our every day life is history making whether great or small,
I don't think you could fit more priviledged white men in there if you tried.
thanks for great quotes, if we follow the quotes our life will be full of joy and happiness.
great men create much but enjoys less. they are the best gift of god. so they are respected years after years. thnx.
In my youth, I was fond of the Orson Welles quote regarding the Borgias and Switzerland. Now, I think he misunderstood. Intrigue and power struggles don't necessarily produce genius. Five centuries of peace and democracy is the accomplishment of note; the cuckoo clock is merely a by-product.
Great personalities to get inspiration!
I wish you could have added one of the greatest quotes of Allama Dr Mohammad Iqbal (a great poet and philosopher of the East). His personality is much above many of the above great people. I would say that Gandhi himself was also a great admirer of Allama Dr Mohammad Iqbal.
His motivational quotations are second to none!!! -
Good number of suggestions one to pick, encouraging. keep visiting the site,
lovable. -
Excellent; A very good idea to start each day with a new quote.
Really it's awesome collection
thanks for great quotes.
A great and inspiring quotes.
Thank you

Americans LOVE the NFL. Love it. But you should enjoy it now. Because we're about 10 years and two more damning brain damage studies away from a day when NO PARENTS will allow their kids to play. Harris Interactive just released the results of their annual poll on the most popular sports in the U.S. And for the 27th year in a row, pro football came in first.
In their first survey, in 1985, 24% of Americans said pro football was their favorite sport, and 23% said baseball. In this most recent survey, the 2012 edition, 34% said pro football is their favorite, and only 16% said baseball.
College football came in third, with 11%. If you add up college and pro football, and at this point, the line is VERY blurred anyway, that means almost half of Americans say football is their favorite sport.
Auto racing came in fourth, with 8% of the vote. It's been consistently beating the NBA since 2003. Pro basketball came in fifth and hockey came in sixth. Even with the NHL strike, hockey beat out men's college basketball, which came in seventh.
Women's pro basketball, women's soccer, and women's golf all tied for last, getting less than 1% of the vote.

NEW YORK (JTA) - Boleslavs Maikovskis has been ordered deported from the United States for having concealed his past activities as a police official in Nazi- occupied Latvia during World War II when he applied for entry into the U.S. in 1951. The order, issued last week by the five-member Board of Immigration Appeals, reverses a decision in July, 1983, by a federal immigration judge in New- York who ruled that the 80-year-old resident of Mine- ola, Long Island, was "not deportable," because Maikovskis' past conduct did not rise to the "level of depravity" needed to make his alleged crimes "contrary to human decency." The Justice Department's Office of Special Investigations, responsible for bringing Nazi war criminals to justice in the U.S., appealed the decision issued in a Man- " hatfan court by Judge Francis Lyons. Maikovskis can appeal the Immigration Board's decision to the U.S. Court of. Appeals for the Second Circuit and finally to the United States Supreme Court. It was hot known whether he would make such an appeal. ■ Should the final verdict of the legal process be deportation, Maikovskis could be sent back to his country of origin, Latvia, now under the rule of the Soviet Union, which had convicted him in absentia -in 1965 of war crimes and sentenced him to death. Most likely, Maikovskis would probably be allowed to choose a destination as has occurred with past war criminals who have been deported from the U.S. He arrived in the United States from West Germany and could possibly be sent there. The Immigration Board's decision is part of an eight- year old legal effort by the Sherrod Brown A Mansfield native, Brown, at the age of 21, was elected to the Ohio General Assembly. In' the Legislature, Brown authored numerous bills and was prime mover in the creation of the Golden Buckeye Card discount program for senior citizens. , Temple Israel Adult Ed. Committee To Welcome Rabbi Akselrad Sept. 9 The Adult Education Committee of Temple Israel will welcome their new assistant rabbi, Sanford D. Akselrad, and his wife,' Joni, with a special evening which will mark the opening of Temple Israel's 1984-85 Adult Education Series. Rabbi Akselrad will speak on "The Holocaust — Is It Being Mistaught?" on Sunday evening, Sept. 9, at 7:30 p.m. ins the Temple Social Justice Department to deport Maikpv§kis. The Department has charged that he failed to disclose when he entered the United States in 1951 that he had been a member of the Latvian police guard which, the Department charges, had exterminated about 20,000 Latvian Jews and other Latvian citizens. Maikovskis ,has maintained his innocence of the war crimes charges.' He declared upon entering this country in 1951 that he had been a bookkeeper during World War II when Latvia ~was occupied by the Germans. Maikovskis was born on January 21, 1904, in Stir- nience, Latvia, completed his high school education there around 1930 and immediately enlisted in the Latvian Army where he became a sergeant. On May 20,1939, he married Janina Ritins and about that time he joined the Aizsargi, a national guard type organization,-ac- cprding to immigration files. During the Nazi occupation of Latvia in 1941, Maikovskis held the rank of captain in the Aizsargi and "helped the German occupation authorities for a few months restoring order in his country," the file says, adding, "Wfien the Germans evacuated Latvia in 1944, the subject claimed they ordered him to do likewise and eventually settled in Germany." Maikovskis' home in Mine- ola was firebombed by unidentified assailants in Sept., ■ 1981. The home was slightly damaged. In Aug., 1978, the alleged war criminal was shot in his home by unidentified assailants. He was hit in the right knee by a bullet but he recovered soon afterwards.

Discovering the reality of painful TMJ and lockjaw

Lock jaw is a symptom of TMJ disorder that can get painfully and functionally worse if not treated in Charlotte, NC. ... Read More
Relief from Headaches and Migraines is Possible at The Ballantyne Center for Dentistry!
Ballantyne Center for Dentistry / Charlotte Headache Doctors
15105 John J. Delaney Dr., Ste K
Charlotte, NC 28277
Are you living with head pain on a weekly or even daily basis? Have you already seen multiple doctors and or had a number of different tests and studies completed? Have you lost any hope that you could live a comfortable lifestyle?
You found the right place! There is finally a solution for Migraine and chronic headache sufferers as well as temperomadibular joint disorder (frequently referred to as TMJ), Tinnitus (ringing in the ears), facial and neck muscle pain, Tempromandibluar sensory motor dysfunction, and other types of chronic headache and head pain.
Living a comfortable, pain-free life is not a luxury; it is something that everyone deserves. If you are living with migraine or headache pain, you may not be living your life to the fullest. At our practice, Dr. Christian Yaste and Dr. Joseph Hufanda provide migraine and headache relief without depending on drug therapy. Through the TruDenta™ pain relief system, you can be in control of your healing process and live the life you've always wanted - one free of pain.
Our doctors are also dentists! Dr.'s Yaste and Hufanda are the founders of the well respected Ballantyne Center for Dentistry, in Charlotte, North Carolina. Over the past years they saw more and more patients suffering with stress and chronic pain in the head and neck and decided to dedicate part of their practice to the treatment of these disorders. At first you may find this a little surprising, but the type of therapy necessary to successfully treat migraine and chronic headaches without dangerous medications and ongoing costly therapy requires the skills of a licensed dentist. No one is better qualified to treat the issues of the tempromandibular joint, muscles of the face, the teeth and the trigeminal nerve than a certified dentist. Dr. Yaste and Dr. Hufanda understand how these structures work together and how migraine triggers can be disengaged. It is less important than you might think as to what triggers your migraine or chronic headaches. More important is how the structures of the head and neck contribute to cause the pain you are having and how they can be placed back in harmony to allow a pain free lifestyle.
"We believe our patients deserve the best care, and it's precisely this commitment to the highest quality that sets us apart. Many patients who have suffered for years and have seen many different types of doctors, taken all kinds of different medicines, and have had multiple expensive studies and films, are finally finding relief naturally with TruDenta technology. Our philosophy is focused on patient centered care, and it's what you can expect to experience every time you come to our office."
-Dr. Joseph Hufanda
Please feel free to contact our office to schedule an appointment with Drs. Yaste and Hufanda. It's time to take control of your life, your health, and your happiness. Call today!

"I have drastically improved. I no longer have jaw pain and my headaches have improved. I felt like a different person. I would highly recommend this treatment."
"I had headaches all day, every day. I was taking probably 24 Ibuprofen every day. [Since the treatment] I haven't taken Ibuprofen for headaches for four weeks!"

Tips from the Coupon Queen
Is extreme couponing for real?

Most weeks, I receive around 1,000 emails from readers. Since TLC's "Extreme Couponing" reality TV series hit the airwaves, my e-mail has quadrupled. Many of them sound like this:
"I've read your column off and on but I don't really use coupons hard-core. Then the "Extreme Couponing" TV show came on. I really want to get the same free stuff those shoppers do. How do I get all of the free stuff with coupons?"
And this:
"My husband and I are both out of work and want to learn extreme couponing. Teach us how to do it."
Extreme couponing is such a popular topic right now, in the next few weeks I'd like to address some of the concerns and questions that have come up in its wake.
Anyone can learn to cut their grocery bills dramatically using coupons. There is no magic. Truly, anyone can do it. But, it's important to understand that the made-for-TV version of couponing isn't the way most coupon enthusiasts use coupons during their own shopping trips
In fact, extreme couponing as depicted on TV has little or no relation to the couponing that happens in real life, in grocery aisles and checkout lines across the country. Let's start with this notable difference between perception and reality.
As seen on TV: People on the show get most of their groceries free.
Reality: People on the show get large quantities of a few specific grocery items free.
One of the easiest ways to get products free with coupons is to match a high-value coupon to a low sale price. This week at my store, three-pack bars of soap are on sale for $1. The newspaper inserts recently had a $1 coupon for this item. Using the coupon with this sale, the soap is free.
Many coupon shoppers get multiple copies of the newspaper during good coupon weeks, specifically to acquire more coupons to match with sales. This week I got four newspapers, so I was able to buy four three-packs of the soap, all of them free.
An extreme couponer likely won't stop there. As you may have seen on the show, few of them are content to stop at using a mere four coupons to purchase the same item. Some shoppers were shown dumpster-diving to retrieve discarded newspaper inserts. Others were shown driving around town, collecting "unclaimed" newspapers from driveways, just to get more coupons.
These practices raise legal, safety and ethical issues. For this example, let's assume that the extreme coupon shopper collects 100 inserts, each with a $1 coupon for the three-pack of bar soap.
In theory, if the terms of the coupons allowed and the store permitted it, the shopper could go to the store, buy 100 three-packs of soap and dramatically "cut" a $100 grocery bill to $0 using coupons. The grocery cart would be full of nothing but soap.
True, the extreme soap shopper won't need to buy soap for a good long time! I'm all for stocking up, but I also know that the soap sale repeats every few months. Twelve bars of soap are plenty to last me until the next sale comes around, and I'm happy to store 12 in my stockpile. I would not want to store 300 bars of soap.
Now imagine that in the same week, soap was on sale for $1, pasta was on sale for $1, toothpaste was on sale for $1 and frozen vegetables were on sale for $1. If I have one $1 coupon for each, all four are free. But if I have 100 $1 coupons for each, 400 are free. That's the start of an extreme couponing shopping trip. Consider the time it takes to cut 400 coupons. It's easy to see why shoppers on the show say they spend more than 30 hours each week couponing.
Next week, I'll address more reader questions on extreme couponing.

Pirates garner road win over Lancers |
Written by Jim Metcalfe |
Thursday, December 13, 2012 1:08 PM |
jmetcalfe@delphosheraldcom The Lancers (0-4) canned 14-of-42 from the floor (2-of-19 long range) for 33.3 percent, with sophomore Justis Dowdy coming off the bench for 23 points and nine boards. Senior Nick Leeth added six. "I had no problem with our shot selection. Unfortunately, this is the fourth game this year where we have struggled shooting the ball," Lancer coach Brett Hammons noted. "Obviously, a few shots were rushed but not many; we were taking open looks. We talk a lot about going out there with confidence and I think once we get that, things will change. I can't fault our effort; these guys are playing their butts off." To read the rest of this article please subscribe or sign in |

But the biggest news is the announcement of a 16GB stick, compatible with PSP (for those extra nine films you just NEED to take everywhere).
It will be released in April with a suggested retail price of $479.95 AUD.

In The Pirates! Band of Misfits, Hugh Grant stars in his first animated role as the luxuriantly bearded Pirate Captain - a boundlessly enthusiastic, if somewhat less-than-successful, terror of the High Seas. With a rag-tag crew at his side (Martin Freeman, Brendan Gleeson, Russell Tovey, and Ashley Jensen), and seemingly blind to the impossible odds stacked against him, the Captain has one dream: to beat his bitter rivals Black Bellamy (Jeremy Piven) and Cutlass Liz (Salma Hayek) to the much

The action is beautifully staged, delightful, and exciting.
The filmmakers have said they are already dreaming up a sequel. They needn't hurry. Whatever treasures these pirates have are well buried.
To paraphrase a certain man with a certain luxuriant beard, it's only impossible to enjoy if you stop to think about it.
Pirates are right up there with vampires, werewolves and people saying "LOL" out loud on the list of Played-Out Pop Culture Phenomena, but leave it to Aardman Animation to find the remaining reservoirs of fun in a bunch of seafaring scalawags.
Designed to please all generations of irreverent humour-lovers, The Pirates! Band of Misfits may not be heart-warming (it is about nasty, scurvy pirates!) but it's breezy rollicking fun.
You may laugh more than the child who brought you to "The Pirates! Band of Misfits," a subtly screwball animated comedy with a distinctively British wit.
This is one of the few times I watched something from Aardman and found myself watching the clock...
This is a good Aardman Animations feature, from a studio that's proved itself capable of being better than good.
The Pirates! Band of Misfits is cinematic booty that shines like gold.
The Pirates! is the first truly great animated film of the year: a painstakingly-modelled laugh riot that boggles the mind while tickling the funnybone.
Though not as laugh-out-loud funny as their best work, there's plenty of wry smiles to be had.
It's got great vocal talent and well-done animation, but it proves once again that the story is the key ingredient.
A rollicking good time that offers enough broad comedy mixed with more cerebral sight gags to ensure this will be a family favourite for years to come.
It's full of jokes for adults that will fly right over kids' heads, but retains just enough plot conflict and slapstick to keep younger audiences involved as well.
The Aardman folks might not have created a pirate film to rival the big screen's best, but they've created a subtle parody of pirate movies that's well worth watching.
Yes, the film feels childish, but in the best possible way.
There's comic treasure in this animated feature
... enough amusing throwaway gags to keep us entertained.
The Pirates! Band of Misfits deserves two doubloons up. It shivered me funny bone.
The fun, infectious tone is set early on and never peters out. The humor is kind of like Monty Python for kids.
Droll and charming, and will probably appeal more to fans of Monty Python and 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' than to young kids...
This is a very funny, very good looking movie getting lost in the fray.
Warning to all ye who enter: drollery, Pythonesque absurdity, and some smartly silly swashbuckling with history ahead. The dark corners of wooden ships and buildings ground the zaniness in Victorian atmosphere, so even modern jokes sail smoothly along.
The best laughs come around the fringes, with great throwaway gags and Grant's usual self-deprecating way with dialogue.

- The Pirate Captain: You'll see. I will be Pirate of the Year! And then you'll be laughing on the other side of your faces. And believe me, that is a very painful thing to do.
- The Pirate Captain: [looks at Charles Darwin's house] You don't get many girls, do you?
- The Pirate Captain: Now listen Charles, we've all done something unforgivable. I've betrayed my pirate honor, you've betrayed science, and Mr. Bobo's betrayed the animal kingdom.
- The Albino Pirate: Wee! I'm a floating head!
- The Pirate Captain: She's not fat, she's just 'big boned'.

Noah Millman objects to thinking of any political order as "natural":
The "natural" order for the Middle East is not Islamist rule, nor pan-Arab nationalism, nor monarchism, nor liberal democracy, nor a patchwork of mini ethno-states. There is no natural order – the closest thing to one is whatever turns out to be a workable arrangement for the population over a long period of time – and that arrangement is unlikely to line up neatly with a particular theory of the state.
Noah is right that there is no one political order that will keep naturally re-emerging among a particular people or in a particular place. There is no guarantee that members of the same sect or ethnicity will always prefer to belong to the same polity, and in some cases there will be competing religious and ethnic loyalties that pull people in different directions. When people turn to their sectarian or ethnic communities for protection, it is often because of state weakness or state failure. Those communities start to serve the functions that a national government had served earlier to one degree or another, just as these communities probably served those functions before a national or royal government intruded to impose its authority and take many of them over.
According to certain romantic and progressive nationalist historical interpretations, the unifications of Italy and Germany represented the emergence of "natural" political unity that had been blocked by centuries of "artificial" interference by local and foreign rulers, but here what was supposed to be "natural" was something that had never really existed before. Other nations that could point to a history of independent dynastic states in ancient or medieval times have identified the "natural" boundaries of their newly independent nation-states with the holdings of the old kingdoms. As Greek irredentists saw it, the "natural map" of Greece was the Greece of the "two continents and the five seas" modeled roughly on late medieval Byzantium and based on the presence of Greek-speaking populations, and Greek foreign policy between independence and 1922 was aimed at trying to make the imaginary map into reality.
The idea of a "natural map" assumes that every nation is entitled to its own state, but in most cases the creation of an independent national state represents a break from the norm. In many cases, the creation of a single state encompassing multiple regions involves suppressing or denying local traditions of political independence or autonomy for the sake of a "national" unity to which many of the new state's inhabitants feel no particular loyalty. That is usually what people are referring to when they dismiss a particular state as an "artificial" rather than a "real" country, which is really a comment on the new national government's perceived lack of legitimacy among its own people.

Prize-winner European CIVIS Television Prize
Category: Entertainment (fiction)
Selected was: Inspector Wallander - Faceless Killers (ARD/BBC)
An old married couple is killed on a farm. Vague clues point to foreign perpetrators. Wallander attempts to conceal the reports from the press in order not to create prejudices against foreigners. In vain – the media give wide coverage to the theme. Soon afterwards, a reception centre for asylum seekers is in flames and an immigrant is shot by a right-wing radical. But all is not as it first seems. Wonderful portrayal of political correctness – exceptional film, outstanding actors.
Television film
Author: Richard Cottan
Literarische Vorlage: Henning Mankell
Editor: Rainer Bunz
Directon: Hettie Macdonald
Prize-winner European CIVIS Television Prize
Category: Information (non-fiction)
Selected was: DOK: The Asylum Chief and the Nigerians (SRF)
Alard du Bois-Reymond is head of the Swiss Federal Office for Migration. Since the yes vote to the extradition initiative, strict regulations apply to asylum policy. The new director implements them and he describes the majority of the Nigerian applicants for political asylum as criminal. The relations to Nigeria deteriorate. A Nigerian dies during the violent deportation. The asylum chief becomes the target of public criticism. The documentary shows how Alard du Bois-Reymond tackles his job in his first term of office. It shows the complicated political back - grounds, people and destinies. Critical, surprising, journalistically impressive.

The youthful serial offender is threatened with prison. His older brother wants to force Jordan to withdraw the statement. Jordan refuses to give in. His in sistence impresses his 15-year-old schoolgirl trainee – the ghetto bride of the thug. Jessica will help him. The film does not blame, it asks questions.

Selected was: Tough and sincere - A Turkish teacher doesn't give up (WDR/ARD)
Betül Durmaz teaches at a special school in Gelsenkirchen. She campaigns for integration and equal opportunities. 70 percent of the children at the school have foreign roots. For many of them she is "one of us". For fundamentalist families, however, the liberal-minded Turkish teacher is a provocative figure with a German passport. The teacher knows the balancing act between the cultures. With her own biography she would like to encourage others and show perspectives. Credible, journalistically impressive – without accusations.
Author: Nicole Rosenbach
Editor: Ulrike Schweitzer
Prize-winner European CIVIS Radio Prize
Category: long programmes (longer than 6 minutes)
Selected was: Zündfunk Reportage: "My Turk and I – Integrative visits in the neighbourhood" (BR)
Integration or discrimination. The author starts his own experiment and appro aches his fellow-citizens: "May I get to know you", he says to his Turkish tailor, to his doner kebab seller, to his apparently Turkish neighbour, who then proves to be an Iraqi, and to many others in his direct neighbourhood. Exciting and true-to-life it be comes clear what happens when people approach each other with curiosity. Cheeky, humorous, simply convincing - high-quality radio.
Author: Marco Maurer
Editor: Franziska Storz
Prize-winner European CIVIS Radio Prize
Category: short programmes (up to 6 minutes)
Selected was: Radio Essen am Morgen: Integration and I (Radio Essen)
The voluntary attempt at integration of a Belorussian journalist. When her voyage of discovery through the Capital of Culture comes to an end, the author decides to remain in Essen. As a guest she felt very welcome. What is it like now to live here as a foreigner with a residence permit? What must she watch out for? The author organizes a crash course in integration for herself in Essen's city centre. It quickly becomes clear: integration needs an opposite number. Ironic, original, self-confident – an impressive listening experience.
Programme from the series "Katja in the Capital of Culture"
Author: Katsiaryna Artsiomenka
Editor: Christian Pflug
Prize-winner European CIVIS Online Media Prize
Selected was
Gerlinde Hinterleitner
The www.dastandard.at Webpage reports authentically, diversely and discursively about the everyday life of immigrants in Austria. Young up-and-coming journalists with a migration background provide the reporting with new perspectives - with a special approach to the "old" and "new" Austrians. The editorial objective is a more equitable representation of people with a migration biography in the media. Does not report about - but rather from the immigrant community.

Authorized representative: Gerlinde Hinterleitner
Prize-winner European Young CIVIS Media Prize
Selected was:
Home country (Hochschule Luzern Design & Kunst)
"Home country" tells the story of the fears of a Swiss patriot about his Turkish neighbour. Hausi, a fan of Swiss folk music, leads a settled and contented life. Everything appears to be harmonious. The moving in of a Turkish neighbour unexpectedly throws Hausi's life completely off the rails. The ironic-droll exaggerated picture of the Swiss fear of foreigners comments on political events like the minaret referendum or the extradition initiative. Humorous, highly topical game with fears and prejudices toward the Islamophobie of our days.
