Powerful Quotes

Life is all about ups and downs. It is all about turmoil, sharp bends and darkness beyond the sight. Perhaps this is the reason people say life is like walking in a dark road, where you can just see the next few meters only. Note that there are two types of people in the world, one who rise and fall, and other who rise and fall only to rise again. After all, isn’t life all about learning from past mistakes and bettering yourself each day? Remember the story of the ant that your mother recited to you when you were young; how each time it attempted to take the sugar cube and carry it along, it failed but never gave up on its hope and determination and finally succeeded. Nothing deterred its goal and mission to get the sugar cube to its den. Maybe it was just another fable for you then, but that did not take away the credence from the story. It does teach one of the greatest principles of life; a man who is determined on his path will reach his goal no matter what course life takes. Small instances would teach you things that you never knew or thought weren’t important. It is how you learn from these instances and make yourself better is what counts. It is believed that the day you stop learning, you die that very day. So, never refrain yourself from leaning new things. There are many powerful and inspirational quotes said by great philosophers and thinkers which are enough to encourage and motivate us. So, if you are feeling low and feel as if are down the drains, read through some of these powerful quotes. These have been assembled especially for you. Hope they boost your morale and reinstate your spirits.
