I like to use inspirational quotes for courage, power, and drive. Enjoy this quick read and some of my favorite inspirational quotes!
Truth time. Brutal, honest, raw. I struggled hard with having no theme for the Friday Five 2.0 this week. It could be because my daughter’s been home on spring break this week and I played “vet” all afternoon and didn’t have time to think about blogging. Or it could be that when given free rein my creative juices simply stop flowing.
Nevertheless, I persisted and finally decided on a topic. I think this will be both a quick and meaningful read. That’s the goal anyway.
Every now and again I like to share some of my favorite quotes. I use quotes to gather inspiration, courage, and/or power. Today I selected a few of my favorites that hopefully prove to be useful to you as well. Enjoy!
Inspirational Quotes for Courage and Motivation
You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream. –C.S. Lewis
Every morning in Africa a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must move faster than the lion or it will not survive. Every morning a lion wakes up and it knows it must move faster than the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn’t matter if you are the lion or the gazelle. When the sun comes up, you better be moving. –Maurice Greene
The only one who can tell you ‘you can’t’ is you. And you don’t have to listen. –Nike
The reason we race isn’t so much to beat each other, but to be with each other. –Christopher McDougall

There are so many good quotes from Born to Run! Hope you have a great weekend!
I love quotes & inspiration.
Since I haven’t been blogging as long as many, I don’t usually have trouble with topics. Although we all struggle sometimes. Like I struggle to make a short post. 🙂
IT’s interesting that you quoted Nike, because I often find myself saying “Just do it!”
The Eleanor Roosevelt quote is one of my favorite quotes.
I especially relate to the last one this week. I think a huge part of the race for me is to be with my friends that I trained with and watch each other accomplish our goals. Thanks for the linkup
Did it make you crazy to only have 2 things for the Friday 5? LOL…
That CS Lewis quote is especially pertinent for my life right now!
I like the one about telling yourself you can’t! I don’t think I have a favorite quote of my owe but these are all great!

Coming up with 5 things for Friday is ingrained in me. Haha! I recently saw an interview with a woman who claimed Nike stole “just do it” from her. Now I forget who it even was.
I agree with MCM Mama. I love the Eleanor Roosevelt quote! I like the format of the Friday 5. It feels perfect for a Friday!
So I am just sitting here doing some blogs and debating to go to the gym. But after reading yours I feel like I need to get y butt out the door now.
My favorite is “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right.” Henry Ford. So much of running (and life) is about what you believe you can do!
I still did 5! 😉
Loving these inspirational words! Thanks so much for sharing 🙂
There are a lot of great quotes. I feel like people can get in their own way. Just get out of the way, and see what you can do.
These are great. Love the “You are never to old to set another goal…”. So true and helpful!
Love inspirational quotes!! Thanks for sharing!

I think your topic was a great one. I love motivational quotes like this. C.S. Lewis is one of my favorites.
I love these quotes!! C.S. Lewis and Jim Rohn are two of my favorite inspirational people. I love Jim’s quote, “If you don’t like how things are, change it! You’re not a tree!”
These are great inspirational quotes! I especially like “YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD TO SET ANOTHER GOAL OR TO DREAM A NEW DREAM. –C.S. LEWIS” Thanks for sharing these!
These are great Rachel!
Those are all great. I love the one about the lion and the gazelle! Having started running in my 50s, I like to say “it’s never too late for Kool-Aid”!
I love me some inspiration. I used to pull out quotes from Runner’s World and place them on my running wall. I need to get that going again my in new office!
I’m all about using quotes as a source of inspiration and motivation. O e of my favorites is from Walt Disney: “If you can dream it you can do it.”
