Inspiring quotes are my passion. I simply love collecting quotes that inspire me, make me think and make me push the envelope one more time.

Inspiring quotes are those powerful nuggets of wisdom condensed into a line or two that leave a profound impact on our minds when we look for them.

I had actually posted hundreds of inspiring quotes in my collection on this website. Now, whenever I find some interesting and inspiring quote, I immediately add them to my library of quotes and also share on my social media channels for others to enjoy.

Today, I am going to share 28 of my favorite inspiring quotes that  inspire me when I need some inspiration. These quotes motivate me when I need a little motivation. Some of these quotes help me stay strong when I am faced with a challenging situation.

I am not going to include any commentary this time because these quotes speak for themselves and I hope you will enjoy them as much as I do. Please do not forget to share your thoughts in the comments section and add value to this post with your favorite quotes. Click here to go to comments section.
