Inspirational Quotations on Try

We do not believe in immortality because we have proved it, but, we forever try to prove it because we believe it.
James Martineau (1805–1900) English Philosopher, Religious Leader

Don’t try to be unafraid. That is impossible. Rather, go ahead while being afraid. That is the entire secret for abolishing fear. The Supermind teaches us to have no self-concern at all. Whatever happens to you, act as though it happened to someone else.
Vernon Howard (1918–92) American Spiritual Teacher, Philosopher

Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the question themselves, as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, some day far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.”
Rainer Maria Rilke (1875–1926) Austrian Poet

Since the beginning of time, people have been trying to change the world so that they can be happy. This hasn’t ever worked, because it approaches the problem backward. What The Work gives us is a way to change the projector—mind—rather than the projected. It’s like when there’s a piece of lint on a projector’s lens. We think there’s a flaw on the screen, and we try to change this person and that person, whomever the flaw appears on next. But it’s futile to try to change the projected images. Once we realize where the lint is, we can clear the lens itself. This is the end of suffering, and the beginning of a little joy in paradise.
Byron Katie (b.1942) American Speaker, Author

The characteristic of genuine heroism is its persistency. All men have wandering impulses, fits and starts of generosity. But when you have resolved to be great, abide by yourself, and do not weakly try to reconcile yourself with the world. The heroic cannot be the common, nor the common the heroic.
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–82) American Philosopher

Do not try to convert others to your point of view, except by holding it and living accordingly.
Wallace Wattles (1860–1911) American New Thought Author

The third level of wanting is “I commit to being rich”. The definition of the word commit is to “devote oneself unreservedly”. This means holding absolutely nothing back; giving 100 percent of everything you’ve got to achieving wealth. It means being willing to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes. This is the warrior’s way. No excuses, no ifs, no butts, no maybes—and failure isn’t an option. The warrior’s way is simple: “I will be rich or I will die trying”.
T. Harv Eker (b.1954) American Motivational Speaker, Lecturer, Author

Too many of those with unrealized aspirations have set them aside due to fear of failure. The bigger the dream, the greater the fear. Doing less than our best allays this fear. I could have done better if I’d tried, we assure ourselves. Among the least appreciated reasons for doing superficial, second-rate work of any kind is the comfort of knowing it’s not our best that’s on the line. By not trying too hard, we avoid learning what our true potential is, and having to fulfill it. Doing our best can be deeply threatening. It forces us to consider what we’re actually capable of accomplishing. Once we learn that lesson, we can’t unlearn it. Our true potential becomes both a shining light we can follow and an oppressive burden of expectation that might, or might not, be met.

Life is too short for theatrics, for face time, for jumping through hoops, for excuses, for blaming, for trying too hard to please others, or for chasing society’s illusion of distant riches or fame.
Robert Cooper (b.1947) British Diplomat

The most important and visible outcropping of the action bias in excellent companies is their willingness to try things out, to experiment. If you wait until you believe you are safe, sure to be without occasional foolish feelings, you’ve most likely waited too long.
Tom Peters (b.1942) American Management Consultant, Author

A teacher of fear can’t bring peace on earth. We have been trying to do it that way for thousands of years. The person who turns inner violence around, the person who finds peace inside and lives it, is the one who teaches what true peace is. We are waiting for just one teacher. You’re the one.
Byron Katie (b.1942) American Speaker, Author

To think that I know what’s best for anyone else is to be out of my business. Even in the name of love, it is pure arrogance, and the result is tension, anxiety, and fear. Do I know what’s right for me? That is my only business. Let me work with that before I try to solve problems for you.
Byron Katie (b.1942) American Speaker, Author

When the soul of a man is born in this country there are nets flown at it to hold it back from flight.
James Joyce (1882–1941) Irish Novelist, Poet

When we let someone be who they are without trying to change them, that is giving away love. When we trust that someone can handle his or her own life, and act accordingly, that is giving away love.
Susan Jeffers (1938–2012) American Psychologist, Self-Help Author

To live differently, to love differently, to think differently, or to try to. Is the danger of beauty so great that it is better to live without it (the standard model)? Or to fall into her arms fire to fire? There is no discovery without risk and what you risk reveals what you value.
Jeanette Winterson (b.1959) English Novelist, Journalist

You haven’t failed until you quite trying.
Unknown

The instinct of nearly all societies is to lock up anybody who is truly free. First, society begins by trying to beat you up. If this fails, they try to poison you. If this fails too, the finish by loading honors on your head.
Jean Cocteau (1889–1963) French Poet, Playwright, Film Director

Poor people will do almost anything to avoid problems. They see a challenge and they run … the secret to success, my friends, is not to try to avoid or get rid of or shrink from your problems; the secret is to grow yourself so that you are bigger than your problems.
T. Harv Eker (b.1954) American Motivational Speaker, Lecturer, Author

Regrets are idle; yet history is one long regret. Everything might have turned out so differently!
Charles Dudley Warner (1829–1900) American Essayist, Novelist

When anything is pointed out, our only idea is to go from wrong to right; in spite of the fact that it has taken us years to get to wrong we try to get right in a moment.
F. Matthias Alexander (1869–1955) Australian Actor, Educationalist

Always try to be yourself.
Russell Simmons (b.1957) American Music Promoter

Don’t try to live. Let yourself be lived.
Vernon Howard (1918–92) American Spiritual Teacher, Philosopher

I think every person should be able to enjoy life. Try to decide what you most enjoy doing, and then look around to see if there is a job for which you could prepare yourself that would enable you to continue having this sort of joy.
Linus Pauling (1901–94) American Scientist, Peace Activist

Each of us in our own way can try to spread compassion into people’s hearts. Western civilizations these days place great importance on filling the human “brain” with knowledge, but no one seems to care about filling the human “heart” with compassion. This is what the real role of religion is.
The 14th Dalai Lama (b.1935) Tibetan Buddhist Religious Leader, Civil Rights Leader, Philosopher, Author

It is one of the beautiful compensations of life that no man can sincerely try to help another, without helping himself.
Gamaliel Bailey (1807–59) American Journalist

If you think you’re too small to make an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito in the room.
Anita Roddick (1942–2007) English Businessperson, Activist, Environmentalist

It’s imperative to realize that it is not necessary to try to get rid of fear in order to succeed. Rich and successful people have fear, rich and successful people have doubts, rich and successful people have worries. They just don’t let these feelings stop them. Unsuccessful people have fears, doubts, and worries, then let those feelings stop them.
T. Harv Eker (b.1954) American Motivational Speaker, Lecturer, Author

Do it, fix it, try it.
Tom Peters (b.1942) American Management Consultant, Author

The only service that you can render God is to give expression to what he is trying to give to the world, through you. The only service you can render God is to make the very most of yourself in order that God may live in you to the utmost of your possibilities.
Wallace Wattles (1860–1911) American New Thought Author
