Poets are the hierophants of an unapprehended inspiration; the mirrors of the gigantic shadows which futurity casts upon the present.
Percy Shelley
Just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there's love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong.
Ella Fitzgerald
Keep your fears to yourself, but share your inspiration with others.
Robert Louis Stevenson
It has all the contortions of the sibyl without the inspiration.
Edmund Burke
In life you need either inspiration or desperation.
Tony Robbins
Over-preparation is the foe of inspiration.
Napoleon Bonaparte
While I take inspiration from the past, like most Americans, I live for the future.
Ronald Reagan
The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, Nor the kindly smile nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when they discover that someone else believes in them and is willing to trust them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There never was a great soul that did not have some divine inspiration.
Marcus T. Cicero
A deadline is negative inspiration. Still, it's better than no inspiration at all.
Rita Mae Brown
The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, adapted
My theme is to make a difference right here in my own neighborhood. I don't have to fight the whole world. If I do well where I am, it will make a difference in the rest of the world... People want to do and to be better. They need inspiration to change and to try to make a difference. They need a catalyst to inspire faith and to encourage them to take a risk...(once a Mexican-American migrant farm worker)
