I personally use such motivational quotes throughout my life. I always surround myself with these quotes. I post them in such places so that I can be inspired every day. I believe that our circumstances can change based on what words we read, hear, and speak. Instead of keeping these to myself, I decided to compile 200 of the most inspiring quotes ever said so that you can also benefit from these words of wisdom. Some are by famous people and some are by those you probably never heard of but their quotes are in the same way remarkable. I trust you will find them insightful and useful. I hope it helps to motivates and inspires you to reach a new level of success and personal greatness in your life. Just as much as it does for me. Use these quotes to fill your life with positive, inspirational words that will fuel the engine of your mind. I certainly hope that you will also see this as a resource rather than just a quick article to read. I encourage you to save this as a resource so that you can come back to it when you need to be motivated. Even reading one or two of these every day will be a great source of positive energy for your day to day life.

Secrets


Ruskin Bond - 2011
    But; as young Ruskin—the narrator in these interconnected tales—soon discovers; not all is as it seems in this sleepy town. Behind the tranquil facade; Dehra is home to a cast of colourful characters: from plucky old women to possible murderers.‘The Canal’ is a joyful tribute to adolescent mischief and adult resolve; in which a group of roguish boys must face the consequences of antagonizing the much-feared Miss Gamla. ‘Over the Wall’ celebrates the resilience and hard-won dignity of a man ravaged by leprosy as he struggles to come to terms with his malady. The dashing young army captain in ‘At Green’s Hotel’ might be the perfect gentleman—or a murderer. And in ‘The Skeleton in the Cupboard’; an old scandal is revived following a chance discovery; leading to wholly unexpected results.By turns charming and poignant; witty and exhilarating; Secrets is vintage Bond.
