5 Quotes which has Inspired me

Quotes are very powerful and sometimes a single quote can change the entire perspective of life.  Quotes may not necessarily be from a philosopher. Quotes from movies/web-series and books have also made a huge impact on me. Here are the 5 quotes which have inspired me.

1. Arise Awake and Stop not till the goal is reached - Swami Vivekananda

Probably I was 14 or 15 when I heard this quote for the first time.  Umpteen number of times this has uplifted me and every time I feel like quitting or stopping, I read this and ensure that I don't stop midway.

2. The nature of promise is that they remain immune to changing circumstances - House of Cards

A wonderful quote by the leading character Frank Underwood in TV series House of Cards.  This quote emphasizes on promises should not be taken lightly and one has to stick to the words made as a promise. This also stresses the point that before making a promise one should be very sure :) 

3. Mind needs books like swords need whetstones - Game of Thrones.

If you are a GoT fan, then I am sure you would also love Tyrion Lannister. The quote means that just like swords need whetstones to keep them sharp, the mind needs books(knowledge) to be sharp and powerful.

4. If you don't have time for exercise, then you should make time for illness - Robin Sharma

The first time I read this it hit me really hard. This quote is very deep and warns us very strongly that if the fitness regime is not a part of our lives, then surely we are going to develop some sort of illness later part in our lives. So better to stay fit and stay disease-free.

5. If you want something you've never had You must be willing to do something you've never done - Thomas Jefferson 

For all the people who rant that they don't have enough money or enough health or success, this quote tells to work harder or to do something differently which will lead to different results. Example: If I want 99% in the exams which I never had got in my life, then I must be willing to study like a topper which I have never studied.
