Quote Unquote (Quotes for Inspiration): Dash

Inspiration is the force that drives our actions. We use our mistakes, visions, emotions, and the contributions of our idols to encourage us. Passion takes over our lives as we accept this form of encouragement, leaving apathy behind. If you're looking for an extra dose of inspiration, you're in luck! I included a list of my favorite quotes that I look upon for some motivation.

― Marilyn Monroe

“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...”

― Dr. Seuss, Oh, the Places You'll Go!

“It is never too late to be what you might have been.”

― George Eliot

“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.”

― Helen Keller

Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.”

“The elevator to success is out of order. You’ll have to use the stairs, one step at a time.”

“Re-examine all you have been told. Dismiss what insults your soul.”
