in need of some inspiration

it's midnight and my eyes are feeling droopy but i felt the need to be inspired tonight. so i googled inspirational quotes and a ton of websites came up. i just wanted to share the quotes that gave me a good feeling inside and some that i could relate to in my own life. 

• "The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them"-Thomas Merton
  

• "The way to develop self-confidence is to do the thing you fear" -William Jennings Bryan
  

• "Far away in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see the beauty, believe in them and try to follow where they lead."- Louisa May Alcott 

• "Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

• "Don't fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of a life contains two descriptions: might have, and should have." -Louis E. Boone
