A deadline is negative inspiration. Still, it's better than no inspiration at all.
Rita Mae Brown
Hope is the dream of the waking man.
Aristotle
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
When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.
Charles Austin Beard
The courage to imagine the otherwise is our greatest resource.
Daniel J. Boorstin
You ask me where I get my ideas. That I cannot tell you with certainty. They come unsummoned, directly, indirectly - I could seize them with my hands - out in open air, in the woods, while walking, in the silence of the nights, at dawn, excited by moods which are translated by the poet into words, by me into tunes that sound and roar and storm about me till I have set them down in notes.
Ludwig van Beethoven
First, have a definite, clear practical ideal; a goal, an objective. Second, have the necessary means to achieve your ends; wisdom, money, materials, and methods. Third, adjust all your means to that end.
Aristotle
Reflect upon your present blessings - of which every man has many - not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.
Charles Dickens
Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.
Thomas Alva Edison
The torpid artist seeks inspiration at any cost, by virtue or by vice, by friend or by fiend, by prayer or by wine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
