5 Quotes That Inspired Me the Most
Her are and why these 5 quotes inspired me.
I am gonna list five quotes from different people or from different movies that are hitting me hard and forcing me to think about my life.
1. “Great men are not born great, they grow great.” — Mario Puzo
The dialogue is from the great movie “The Godfather.” Mario said that great men are not born that way they grow great. No one is perfect from childhood, and no one is born with a silver spoon in their mouth. They work, work hard throughout their lives to be great.
Not every great man becomes a hero. Some lose moral codes and become villains because of circumstances and do great work. Terrible, but great. Others fight with their luck and serve mankind throughout their lives. But the similarity is they both are not born capable, they become capable through their hard work and growth.
2. “Every man dies, not every man really lives.”
— William Wallace
The famous quote is from “Braveheart” by Willian Wallace.
Death is a reality. Everything that is born will die. No one can deny this reality. We all will die. Many great people died at the end but it does not matter. The thing that matters the most is how we live or how they live.
People are born and die but we do not really remember persons after 3 to 5 years of their death, but those who live their lives like men and make great contributions are remembered for centuries. People remember those who lived their lives for a goal or mission.
I am always reminding myself what are the goals of my life so I stay motivated.
3. I am the devil of my words. — Lucifer Morningstar
The famous dialogue is from a famous Netflix series “Lucifer” by the main character Lucifer Morningstar.
If you watch the series you will know that Lucifer is a devil indeed but he never lied and keeps all his words no matter if they are not favoring the situation for himself.
I thought for a while that if a devil keeps his words why can I? One thing I learned from this series is that never telling a lie will not hurt you. You can keep quiet where you don’t want to speak the truth. And, if you promise something you must fulfill it no matter what it costs.
Make no promise and if you make one keep it. If Lucifer can why not you?
4. To live like a lion for a day is far better that to live like a jackal for hundred years, — Tipu Sultan
Tipu Sultan if you don’t know was a ruler of the subcontinent. He was a great warrior and commander.
When he was caught by the enemies' alliances due to the traitors of his army he was offered to serve them and obey them so they would spear his life.
He replied with this famous quote and the words become part of history. Historians wrote that after they killed Tipu, they were afraid of going near his dead body due to fear. They did not go near his body for 6 hours.
The man sacrifices his life like a lion but is not accepted to live like a jackal.
It is easy to say but hard to prove and those who lived that way are still remembered and live in the hearts of their lovers. but those who compromised and lived 100s of years are dead in the true sense.
5. “The wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers.” — T’Challa
Marvel produces many great movies and has many famous quotes but the one that inspired me the most is from “Captain America Civil War” by the king of Wakanda black panther T’Chala.
He delivered this message to the United Nations to welcome and forgive those who are somehow responsible for the death of 17 Wakandians.
The quote hit me hard due to its powerful message on international relations and cooperation.
Not everyone is brave enough to shake hands with their enemies or the people they hate the most. It is only a wise and brave man who dares to act like that.
Make people your friends. The best revenge for your enemy is to make him yours. People will never hate you if you are building bridges. But those who build barriers instead are foolish people. They don’t know the affairs of the world and only think about themselves.
They can not make big progress. I might hate someone but I never close the door of talking to anyone.
I hope these five quotes inspire you as well.
