Top 10 Inspirational Quotes (part 1)

get inspired!
These week and next, I'm sharing my 10 favorite inspirational quotes.
I hope you find inspiration in these words, too!



The greatest danger for most of us
is not that we aim too high and we miss it,
but that we aim too low and we reach it.

~Michelangelo, artist


One thing life has taught me:
if you are interested, you never have to look for new interests.
They come to you.
When you are genuinely interested in one thing,
it will always lead to something else.
~Eleanor Roosevelt


When nothing seems to help
I go and look at the stonecutter hammering away at his rock
Perhaps a hundred times without so much as a crack showing in it.
Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two,
and I know it was not that blow that did it –
but all that had gone before.
~Jacob August Riis, photographer/journalist


Life is like riding a bicycle.
To keep your balance, you must keep moving.
~ Mark Twain


I had what it takes to make a good artist:
sensitivity and tremendous willpower.
 ~Alice Neel, painter




Have a great beginning to your week!

Wise words! I love the quote by Mark Twain! Sometimes just putting one foot in front of the other is all you can do, but it's forward motion!
