25 Inspirational Martin Luther King Jr. Quotes...
On Leadership
“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”“A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.”
“The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people.”
“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”
“Never, never be afraid to do what's right, especially if the well-being of a person or animal is at stake. Society's punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way.”
On Love
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
“Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend.”
“I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.”
“I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.”
On Helping Others
“An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.”
“There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must take it because conscience tells him it is right.”
“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?"
“Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.”
“Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.”
“If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way.”
On Faith
“Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.”
“I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over, and I've seen the Promised Land.”
“To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.”
“Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.”
“Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted.”
On Tolerance
“We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.”
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
“We may have all come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now.”
“Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”
“People fail to get along because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don't know each other; they don't know each other because they have not communicated with each other.”

Once you have established the career goals you hope to reach this year, post these inspiring quotes in conspicuous places so that you see them often. They will help you focus on your goals and work toward success.- “One of the huge mistakes people make is that they try to force an interest on themselves. You don't choose your passions; your passions choose you.” --Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon
- “A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination, and hard work.” --Colin Powell

- “Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” --Steve Jobs

Quotes for your personal life

Review them often throughout the year as a way to refresh what you were thinking when the year began.- “You can talk with someone for years, everyday, and still, it won't mean as much as what you can have when you sit in front of someone, not saying a word, yet you feel that person with your heart, you feel like you have known the person for forever.... connections are made with the heart, not the tongue.” - C. JoyBell C.
- “Well, it seems to me that the best relationships -- the ones that last -- are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. You know, one day you look at the person and you see something more than you did the night before. Like a switch has been flicked somewhere. And the person who was just a friend is... suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with.” - Gillian Anderson
- “Every couple needs to argue now and then. Just to prove that the relationship is strong enough to survive. Long-term relationships, the ones that matter, are all about weathering the peaks and the valleys.” - Nicholas Sparks
- “When you hold a grudge, you want someone else’s sorrow to reflect your level of hurt but the two rarely meet.” - Steve Maraboli
- “The love of family and the admiration of friends is much more important than wealth and privilege.” - Charles Kuralt

- “I've realized that I'm more important than food is. I love a big slice of pizza, but I love myself more. Being thin is about changing the way you think about yourself. It's about saying that you deserve to be healthy.” - Valerie Bertinelli
- ”There's no quick or magical way to lose weight. You just have to do it the natural way - diet and exercise and stick to it - and be able to do it at your own pace.” - Jordin Sparks
- “Change doesn’t come in nickels and dimes. It comes in dedication and sweat.” - Toni Sorenson
- “Exercise is a great leveler. It doesn't matter how rich you are, you can't just buy your way into a great body. You have to do the work. I find that comforting. It's one of the few things in life where we're all on a level playing field.” - Vinnie Tortorich
These inspirational quotes can keep you motivated and focused on the goals you set for yourself in the New Year.

32 Game-Changing Quotes About Love And Life
I
don’t care about whose DNA has recombined with whose. When everything
goes to hell, the people who stand by you without flinching they are
your family.
Please know that there are much better things in life than being lonely or liked or bitter or mean or self conscious. We are all full of shit. Go love someone just because, I know your heart may be badly bruised, or even the victim of numerous knifings but it will always heal even if you don’t want it to, it keeps going. There are the most fantastic, beautiful things and people out there, I promise. It’s up to you to find them.
Jim Butcher

Chuck Palahniuk
Don’t ever mistake my silence for ignorance, my calmness for acceptance, or my kindness for weakness.
Anonymous
People don’t like love, they like that flittery flirty feeling. They
don’t love love – love is sacrificial, love is ferocious, it’s not
emotive. Our culture doesn’t love love, it loves the idea of love. It
wants the emotion without paying anything for it. It’s ridiculous.
Matt Chandler Parsons
Some people will never ‘get you’. Do not spend eternity asking why.
People will see you differently, just cherish those who lift your soul.
Dodinsky’s Garden of Thoughts
You’ll meet her, she’s very pretty, even though sometimes she’s sad
for many days at a time. You’ll see, when she smiles, you’ll love her.
Pan’s Labyrinth
I’ve never fooled anyone. I’ve let people fool themselves. They
didn’t bother to find out who and what I was. Instead they would invent a
character for me. I wouldn’t argue with them. They were obviously
loving somebody I wasn’t.
I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it.
Audrey Hepburn
You get a strange feeling when you’re about to leave a place. Like
you’ll not only miss the people you love but you’ll miss the person you
are now at this time and this place, because you’ll never be this way
ever again.
Azar Nafisi
Faith is taking the first step even when you can’t see the whole staircase.
I am too intelligent, too demanding, and too resourceful for anyone
to be able to take charge of me entirely. No one knows me or loves me
completely. I have only myself.
Simone de Beauvoir
You are not useless. You are not hopeless. And no matter how scared
you are, you will never be alone. And deep down, somewhere, in the part
of you that decided the good days and your happiness and your health
were all worth fighting for, you know that, too. Hold onto that
knowledge. It will see you through the worst.
Ella Ceron
The pain that you’ve been feeling, can’t compare to the joy that’s coming.
Romans 8:18
I don’t think people love me. They love versions of me I have spun
for them, versions of me they have construed in their minds. The easy
versions of me, the easy parts of me to love. Who’s going to love the
girl that can’t stop crying? The girl that hurts herself? The girl that
is losing control? The girl that is so sad she can’t get out of bed? The
girl that keeps pushing everyone away? Who’s going to love the monster
in me, who’s going to love me now?
Anonymous
The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take
risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice.
Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded,
sometimes destroyed.
Ernest Hemingway
I like people who have a sense of individuality. I love expression
and anything awkward and imperfect, because that’s natural and that’s
real.
Marc Jacobs
Can you remember who you were, before the world told you who you should be?
Danielle LaPorte
Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words.
Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep
your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep
your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your
values positive because your values become your destiny.
Mahatma Gandhi
You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.
Don’t wish it was easier, wish you were better. Don’t wish for less
problems, wish for more skills. Don’t wish for less challenges, wish for
more wisdom. The major value in life is not what you get. The major
value in life is what you become. Success is not to be pursued; it is to
be attracted by the person you become.
You’re the kind of experience most people wait lifetimes for.
None
I am going to tell you a secret. Every year many, many stupid people graduate from college. And if they can do it, so can you.
John Green
Once you’ve accepted your flaws, no one can use them against you.
Tyrion Lannister
I would love to say that you make me weak in the knees but to be
quite upfront and completely truthful you make my body forget it has
knees at all.
Derrick Brown
Two people who were once very close can without blame or grand
betrayal become strangers. Perhaps this is the saddest thing in the
world.
Warsan Shire
They say you don’t get over someone until you find someone or
something better. As humans, we don’t deal well with emptiness. Any
empty space must be filled. Immediately. The pain of emptiness is too
strong. It compels the victim to fill that place. A single moment with
that empty spot causes excruciating pain. That’s why we run from
distraction to distraction and from attachment to attachment.
Yasmin Mogahed
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you
simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do
not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or
you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate
that when I fall asleep your eyes close.
Pablo Neruda
Maybe there’s a universe where I’m the right person for you. Where I
adore every nice thing you did for me without starting to resent you. A
universe where you actually end up with someone who appreciates you.
Where no one becomes a doormat. Where both of us can shed our baggage
and curiosity and issues. A universe where we’re happy without wondering
if that happiness is some messed-up Jenga game ready to topple at the
slightest quiver. A universe where we’re comfortable and sure. Where I
don’t second guess everything and I’m not afraid of commitment and of
the future and of love. Maybe there’s a universe without all the noise
in my head and the pride that makes me so fiercely independent and the
coldness in my heart that I can turn on and off like a security fence.
Gaby Dunn
Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you or makes you happy.
Robert Tew
The thing I’m most afraid of is me. Of not knowing what I’m going to do. Of not knowing what I’m doing right now.
Haruki Murakami
My only relief is to sleep. When I’m sleeping, I’m not sad, I’m not angry, I’m not lonely, I’m nothing.
Jillian Medoff
All the hardest, coldest people you meet were once as soft as water. And that’s the tragedy of living.
Iain Thomas
