One of the beauties of life is that everybody has to live their own; your life will not be lived for you by anybody else. Many philosophies exist that people have adopted to guide themselves or get guidance through life.
In this blog, I have gathered some quotations which may stimulate your mind and maybe change the way you look at life. These quotes are categorized into the three topics: self motivation, helping others and coping with hard times.
I hope you will enjoy these quotes!!
