Here are a few quotes that inspire me;
 

THE MAN IN THE MIRROR

When you get what you want in your struggle for self,
And the world makes you king for a day;
Then go to the mirror and look at yourself,
And see what that man has to say.

For it isn't a mans father, mother or wife
Whose judgement upon him must pass:
The fellow whose verdict counts most in his life,
- Is the Man staring back from the Glass.

He's the fellow to please; never mind all the rest,
For he's with you clear up to the end;
And you've passed your most dangerous difficult test
If the Man in the Glass is your friend.

You can fool the whole world down the pathway of years,
And get pats on the back as you pass;
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you've cheated the Man in the Glass.

It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude. Emerson

What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think. This rule, equally arduous in actual and in intellectual life, may serve for the whole distinction between greatness and meanness. It is the harder, because you will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it. It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude. Emerson

The spiritual journey does not consist in arriving at a new destination where a person gains what he did not have, or becomes what he is not. It consists in the dissipation of one's own ignorance concerning one's self and life, and the gradual growth of that understanding which begins the spiritual awakening. The finding of God is a coming to one's self. Aldous Huxley

Truth always rests with the minority and a minority is always stronger than a majority, because a minority is generally formed by those who really have an opinion, while the strength of the majority is illusory, formed by the gangs who have no opinion and who therefore in the next instant when it is evident that the minority is the stronger assume its opinion. Kierkegaard

A man should carry himself in the face of opposition as though everything were titular and ephemeral, but himself. Emerson

We live within an immense intelligence which makes us receivers of its truth and organs of its activities. Emerson.

This is the true joy in life, to be recognized by oneself as a power, a force of nature, instead of a feverish, selfish little clod full of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself me happy. G.B. Shaw

Tomorrow and tomorrow creeps in its petty pace till death does its part. Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury ,signifying nothing.

My mission in  life is to remove the limitations that I have imposed upon myself. Ghandi
