7 inspirational quotes about love to help you reflect

01/16/2026 by

Today, I am exploring inspirational quotes about love.

We all need love, and we need to feel love, wouldn’t you agree, dear reader?

Human beings are emotional and social creatures, and we all need other people.

We need a sense that we matter to other people. And of course, other people matter to us too. Our family, our friends, and our loved ones.

We feel love for those who matter to us, and our greatest love is for that special person who matters most.

Our greatest love is felt for that person in whose company we always feel a sense of contentment.

If you’ve found that special person, then perhaps you should get down on your knees and thank God for the privilege because you’re lucky indeed. Not everyone is quite so lucky.

Here are 7 inspirational quotes about love to help you reflect on this complex emotion.

However, remember this: love alone won’t sustain a relationship.

That requires hard work and being prepared to compromise frequently.

Nevertheless, without love, a relationship has no chance at all.

If you truly love someone, you’ll want what’s best for them, and you’ll be prepared to set aside your own needs occasionally to ensure that their needs are being satisfied too.

In a successful relationship, all parties must feel their needs are respected and being met, at least most of the time.

Love means you can’t have your own way all of the time.

Make Money

Inspirational quotes about love:

  1. Where there is love, there is life. ~Mahatma Gandhi
  2. There’s only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved. ~George Sand
  3. A flower cannot blossom without sunshine and man cannot live without love. ~Max Muller
  4. Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye. ~H Jackson Brown, Jr
  5. Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. ~Oscar Wilde
  6. The best thing to hold onto in life is each other. ~Audrey Hepburn
  7. Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses. ~Ann Landers

01/15/2026 by

If you love the United States, then you might just appreciate today’s 15 inspirational quotes from some of the great American philosophers.

Your personal philosophy is important.

It’s all about how you choose to view the world and your role in it.

Never underestimate the importance of personal philosophy in terms of how your life will progress.

In our heads, metaphorically, two wolves are fighting each other. One wolf represents all things positive, and the other is all things negative. Which wolf wins will depend on which one you choose to feed most.

Feed the positive, and you’ll enjoy better life experiences.

I’m not an American, but I love American culture and American thinking and positivity. And I’ve learned a lot from reading books by some of the great American philosophers, and you can too.

So let’s start with these inspiring quotes by some American philosophers, which I’ve read in the recent past. These are some great quotes, and they will help you form your own personal philosophy.

  8. We have to talk about liberating minds as well as liberating society. ~Angela Davis
  9. The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend. ~Henry David Thoreau

  11. I think that every sexual position is fundamentally comic. ~Judith Butler
  12. For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

25 Picasso quotes that will make you think

01/12/2026 by

Today I thought it would be interesting to explore some Picasso quotes.

Pablo Ruiz Picasso was one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. While best known as a painter, he was also a sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and theatre designer.

Spanish by birth, he spent most of his adult life in France.

Picasso demonstrated extraordinary artistic talent in his early years, painting in a naturalistic manner throughout his childhood and adolescence.

During the first decade of the 20th century, his style changed as he experimented with different theories, techniques, and ideas, so Picasso’s work is often categorized into periods.

Picasso was a successful man who made his mark on life. And it’s always worth listening to what successful people have to say.

So, dear reader, take a few moments to read these Picasso quotes and reflect on what they all mean.

Make Money

Picasso Quotes (1-12)

  1. Youth has no age.
  2. I do not seek. I find.
  3. Everything you can imagine is real.
  4. We don’t grow older, we grow riper.
  5. Good artists copy, great artists steal.
  6. It takes a long time to become young.
  7. The genius of Einstein leads to Hiroshima.
  8. The chief enemy of creativity is good sense.
  9. Action is the foundational key to all success.
  10. Inspiration exists but it has to find us working.
  11. Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth.
  12. I’d like to live as a poor man with lots of money.

Picasso Quotes (13-25)

  1. Every act of creation is first an act of destruction.
  2. It is your work in life that is the ultimate seduction.
  3. I begin with an idea and then it becomes something else.
  4. Work is a necessity for man. Man invented the alarm clock.
  5. Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.
  6. Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.
  7. The world today doesn’t make sense, so why should I paint pictures that do?
  8. I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.
  9. Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not.
  10. You mustn’t always believe what I say. Questions tempt you to tell lies, particularly when there is no answer.
  11. Success is dangerous. One begins to copy oneself, and to copy oneself is more dangerous than copying others. It leads to sterility.
  12. When I was a child, my mother said to me, ‘If you become a soldier, you’ll be a general. If you become a monk, you’ll end up as the Pope.’ Instead, I became a painter and wound up as Picasso.
  13. Never permit a dichotomy to rule your life, a dichotomy in which you hate what you do so you can have pleasure in your spare time. Look for a situation in which your work will give you as much happiness as your spare time.

13 interesting quotes by Mary Tyler Moore

01/12/2026 by

Today I thought it would be interesting to explore some quotes by Mary Tyler Moore.

For anyone who doesn’t remember the late Mary Tyler Moore, she was a big star in American sitcoms in the 1960s and the 1970s.

She is probably best known for her roles on The Dick Van Dyke Show (1961–1966) and The Mary Tyler Moore Show (1970–1977), which helped define a new vision of American womanhood and appealed to an audience facing the challenges of everyday existence, as it was for people back in those days.

However, Mary Tyler Moore was not just a successful sitcom actress.

She was a successful businesswoman, producer, and social advocate. She was also an advocate for animal rights, vegetarianism, and Diabetes prevention.

During her career, Mary Tyler Moore won 7 Primetime Emmy Awards and 3 Golden Globe Awards. She was also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in Ordinary People.

She achieved all of this whilst having to cope with the debilitating condition of Diabetes.

By any measure, she was a smart lady whose ideas are worthy of our attention.

So here are 13 interesting quotes by Mary Tyler Moore to get you thinking today.

Make Money

Quotes by Mary Tyler Moore (1-10):

  1. I’m not an actress who can create a character. I play me.
  2. I’ve had the fame and the joy of getting laughter. Those are gifts.
  3. You truly have to make the very best of what you’ve got. We all do.
  4. You can’t be brave if you’ve only had wonderful things happen to you.
  5. I still feel as if I weren’t a good enough mother. I didn’t break any rules.
  6. Sometimes you have to get to know someone really well to realize you’re really strangers.
  7. Take chances, make mistakes. That’s how you grow. Pain nourishes your courage. You have to fail in order to practice being brave.
  8. I live in a kind of controlled awareness. I wouldn’t call it fear, but it’s an awareness. I know I have a responsibility to behave in a certain way. I’m able to do that.
  9. Diabetes is an all-too-personal time bomb which can go off today, tomorrow, next year, or 10 years from now. A time bomb affecting millions like me and the children here today.
  10. I need insulin to stay alive. It’s just therapy to keep going. What I can do is make sure that I keep my blood sugar down to a reasonable level. I can exercise, and I can eat properly. And insulin plays a very big part in that.
Phil Sutton

Quotes by Mary Tyler Moore (11-13):

  1. My peripheral vision has been severely limited because of my diabetes, which means I can see just fine looking straight ahead. But if I am at a function with lots of people, I am constantly bumping into people – even kicking them!
  2. I know the food groups that I like to have and are good for me and those that I have to stay away from. And so, I don’t need to know exactly what I’m going to eat, but I take my insulin probably 20 minutes before I’m going to sit down.
  3. There are certain things about me that I will never tell anyone because I am a very private person. But basically, what you see is who I am. I’m independent, I do like to be liked, I do look for the good side of life and people. I’m positive, I’m disciplined, I like my life in order, and I’m neat as a pin.

How to improve your life quality and have much more

01/11/2026 by

How to improve your life quality? That’s a question we often ask ourselves when life does not quite meet our expectations.

Embarrassed by circumstances

Have you ever been embarrassed by your limited circumstances?

Consider a situation. Perhaps all your friends were going on a night out, but you couldn’t join them because you simply didn’t have the money.

You wanted to join them, of course, but wealth and financial freedom were nothing but a distant dream for you at the time.

Perhaps you haven’t had that particular experience, but something similar, possibly? The actual situation for you may have been different, but your sense of embarrassment will not have been any less painful and hard to bear, I’m sure.

In one of his audio programs, the late Jim Rohn tells a story about an event that drove him to take a very close look at his life.

A Girl Scout called at Jim’s house one day to sell Girl Scout Cookies as part of an annual fundraiser. In exchange for the cookies, all she asked for was just two dollars.

This was many years ago, of course, but even then, this was not a huge sum of money.

However, Jim’s problem at the time was that he didn’t even have two dollars to spare, so he was reduced to lying to the poor girl. At this point, wealth was something Jim had yet to encounter.

How to improve your life quality

Money does matter

Now, some people will tell you that money doesn’t matter, but it does. In our world today, you can’t live without money any longer than you can live without oxygen or water.

Exactly how much money you need depends on your preferred lifestyle, of course. If you don’t want much out of life, then you’ll get by on very little money.

However, most of us do want more out of life; hence, having at least a degree of wealth does matter.

Wealth and financial freedom

Put simply, wealth means financial freedom.

Financial freedom, in turn, means you can do what you want whenever you want without feeling constrained by your circumstances.

A worthy aim, therefore, is to decide what you want out of life and then start working towards building your wealth.

Make Money

It all starts with change

Have you ever thought to yourself, I don’t want to live like this anymore?

Perhaps you’ve said to yourself, I want more out of life.

You want more, but the problem is that you have no idea how to change your circumstances, right? If you need a little help, then don’t worry, dear reader; you’re not alone.

However, one thing you must accept is that unless you change, nothing will change.

You must increase your value

Perhaps you look at your salary each month and think, How can I start building wealth when this is all the company pays?

If that’s how you think, then you’ll need to change your philosophy or the way you look at things.

The salary you get may be all the company pays you, but it’s for the value of the contribution you make.

There will be other people who are paid a lot more than you. They’re paid more than you quite simply because they’re considered to be more valuable than you to the company.

I’m not suggesting that you’re not valuable. You are valuable as a father, a mother, a brother, a sister, a friend, or even a colleague.

However, my point reflects your economic value to your employer.

It’s a fact that if you’re in a low-skilled job where there’s an oversupply of potential replacements for your services, then you won’t earn much. That’s simply the economics of supply and demand.

However, just because you’re not more valuable now doesn’t mean you can’t become more valuable.

You can increase your skills with a little effort on your part, and you can become more valuable. Become more valuable, and your income will rise.

So while your circumstances may be limited right now, they don’t have to remain that way.

You can work on yourself and improve yourself. It’s all about self-improvement and personal development.

Success can be yours

Success doesn’t just happen to people. No one just gets lucky.

If you asked the CEO of a multi-national corporation how he or she got to where he or she is today, the response is unlikely to be, “Well, I just showed up for work each day, and they just kept promoting me.”

No, people have worked very hard to get to a lofty position in life. You don’t get anywhere without hard work.

However, you attract success by the person you become, and you really can become more than you are now.

Jim Rohn suggested that profits are better than wages, and he had a point.

Every rags-to-riches story I’ve ever heard always involves someone’s own business. They started their own business, worked very hard, and one day they became very rich.

Phil Sutton

Build a business

Now you’re probably thinking, I don’t have the money to start my own business, and I can’t afford to give up my job on a whim.

That’s all true, I’m sure, but some people keep their job initially and start their own business as a part-time enterprise.

Jim Rohn himself built his success that way.

Jim began life in modest circumstances, but he went on to become a millionaire and one of the most influential thinkers of our time. And in case you’re wondering, no, he didn’t go to university.

It can be done; people do, and you can too.

Just make up your mind to start working on yourself.

Increase your value and look for opportunities to solve problems for people.

Solving problems is the basis for any business. Every product should solve a problem for consumers.

The psychology of wealth

There’s psychology linked to building wealth, and you would be wise to understand it.

In the embedded video included here, the late Jim Rohn explains the psychology of wealth and provides a lot of sensible advice.

Jim was a successful man by any measure, and it’s always worth listening to people who’ve achieved success. They know what they’re talking about because they’ve been there and done it.

He offers simple messages that are thought-provoking and powerful.

This video is well worth your time, and I recommend it to you. Watch it now while you have the chance.

How to improve your life quality

 

Recommendations for your library

I think the late Jim Rohn was one of the best motivational speakers I’ve ever heard, and he’s been a big influence on me; that’s for sure.

He’s produced many books, videos, and audio programs over the years, and all of them would add real value to your library.

Two I can strongly recommend you add to your personal reference library are:

Book: Seven Strategies for Wealth & Happiness by Jim Rohn

Audio Program: The Art of Exceptional Living by Jim Rohn

I purchased both of these some time ago, and I still use them constantly as sources of inspiration and motivation.

17 thought-provoking quotes about war and why it’s truly mad

01/08/2026 by

In this post, I am exploring quotes about war.

Does war ever solve anything? That’s a debatable point, to say the least.

There have been so many wars in my lifetime, and yet what have they solved, really? It seems to me that war never actually resolves anything at all.

War causes bitterness and hatred between people, and these feelings can fester for generations.

For me, war is best summed up by Bertrand Russell’s famous observation:

War doesn’t decide who’s right, only who’s left.

As far as I can see, war creates more problems than it solves. Often, it creates a vacuum that is then filled by people with truly evil intent.

Ultimately, differences between people require compromise and a political solution. We have to learn to live together and meet others halfway.

Yes, there will be times when we have to be resolute and tough, but fighting should be avoided whenever possible, and it should always be possible.

If I have learned one thing, it is this: if politicians had to go to war and do the fighting and take their own sons and daughters with them, there would be no wars.

The problem we have today is that none of our politicians now have any first-hand experience of the reality of war. None have experienced the horrors of battle. If they had, they would take a very different approach; of that I am sure.

However, let me say this: whether war can be justified or otherwise, we must always respect the warriors.

The warriors do what they do in good faith and at great personal risk to themselves. They act without question and with the intent of protecting us. They do the bidding of politicians. So if anyone is to blame, it’s always the politicians. Let us never forget.

Here are 17 quotes about war to underline today’s message.

  4. War doesn’t decide who’s right, only who’s left. ~Bertrand Russell
  5. You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake. ~Jeannette Rankin
  6. In peace, sons bury their fathers. In war, fathers bury their sons. ~Herodotus
  7. The military doesn’t start wars. Politicians start wars. ~William Westmoreland
  8. The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war. ~Norman Schwarzkopf
