Top 202 Inspirational Quotes
Introduction
We believe that there is no other greater source of
inspiration like that found in the Bible and when you feel
confused about anything on this earth, God’s word can lift
you up. So before you first seek man, seek God.
This book is compiled without any direct scripture reference
and gives the exact words that were said by the people
quoted in each quote. We believe that these simple quotes
can help change your mind about something that you
have been thinking about, doing or about to stop doing. To
copy from one of the quotes, “success is a ball in your
heads, no one determines it for you and you either decide
to succeed or fail”. For us at The Church Magazine, there is
no other option but to succeed. Inspirational quotes and
motivational quotes have the power to get us through a
bad week, and can even give us the courage to pursue our
life’s dreams. Find time and read through them and please
don’t hesitate to give us feedback using our contacts
below. We hope this collection helps you.
NOTE: These are not our composition but rather for the quoted people
