inspirational Poems

“You may only be someone in the world, but to someone else, you may be the world.” Feel better now? That’s the beauty of inspirational quotes.

Even in the face of almost certain defeat, some of the greatest people in history have overcome adversity to achieve remarkable things. Perhaps it was the inspirational quotes of others that drove them to greatness. And perhaps, their words will inspire you to do the same.

Maya Angelou
Phenomenal Woman by Maya Angelou

The stride of my step,

inspirational Poems about Life
Robert Frost
Fire and Ice by Robert Frost
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.

But if it had to perish twice,

To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice. [ Read More ]

The Tyger by William Blake
Tyger Tyger. burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye.
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies.
