So let the words of these outstanding people provide inspiration on the path to success!

Every person has a goal in life, and motivating statuses provide the very impetus to achieve it, which many sometimes simply lack. They allow you to cheer up not only yourself, but also those around you. It is not necessary to look for inspiration to conquer some transcendental heights, because it is not for nothing that there are motivating statuses for work that make it clear how important work is in our world. Everyday life, and the road to success consists not only of big breakthroughs, but also of small steps.

Never, under any circumstances, should you give up. Any difficulties are not a punishment for the past, but a test for the sake of the future.

If you want, then you can. If it doesn’t work out, it means you don’t want to.

You shouldn't wait for someone to help you, you need to act yourself.

Throw away the stone from your soul - and nothing will stop you from taking off!

Anyone who is going to reach his goal anticipates all the difficulties that may arise along the way.

Do as much as you can today, you can do even more tomorrow.

Always be confident in what you are doing and don’t give a damn about other people’s opinions. It’s not a shame to be wrong for others, it’s stupid to be unhappy for yourself!

If you want to succeed, continue to believe in yourself even when no one believes in you anymore.

Strength of character does not lie in the ability to break through walls, but in the ability to find doors.

Everyone will want beautiful rose, beautiful night, good friend. It is important to be able to love a rose with its thorns, the night with its mystery, a friend with all his problems.

The door to the soul, like the door to the house, must be kept closed. IN open door blowing cold wind, brings in all sorts of dirt and people with bad intentions climb in. And those who really want to enter will knock politely.

- You’re complicated...
- No, I’m not complicated, I’m very simple. You just need to understand me. But it’s difficult to understand, yes.

Those who want do more than those who can.

Thought is material, and the most incredible desires can be fulfilled.

We invent our own problems, obstacles, complexes and frameworks. Free yourself - breathe life and realize that you can do anything.

What we misunderstood the first time happens to us again. A little bit different. If we still do not understand, the event is returned until we fully understand the lesson.

Don't take negativity to heart. Until you accept it, it belongs to the one who brought it.

Willpower is when your brain tells you everything, but you say no, not everything yet.

The weak will say: “It’s not fate,” the strong will say: “I’ll try again,” and the strongest will say: “I’ll try until everything is the way I want.”

I’d rather make a mistake by choosing my own path than follow the path imposed by someone.

In difficult moments in life, we need motivation and words of encouragement that will energize us and give us new strength to continue our journey. We have collected the best motivational quotes from the most... wise people different eras.
