Your time is limited. So don’t waste it living someone else’s life” said Steve Jobs, the man who brought to the world the Apple revolution. Each one of us needs inspiration, and even a little of that can change the way we look at life. Our collection of inspirational quotes by the great and famous are bound to bring in hope, courage, optimism and success.

Most achievers in the world have started small. They had absolutely no hope or support and had to do everything that they had ever wanted from the scratch. That leaves us a great message. Anything is possible when there is power in our dreams. That unshakable faith fueling the dream to turn into a reality.

Most successful people have believed in their dreams, regardless of the obstacles or the people around them who would have laughed at their ideas. They kept going ahead with their plan, rising and falling until they made it to their goals.
