&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Many times quotes are my inspiration, the little push I need to get moving or to keep trying.&amp;nbsp; I can feel discouraged or tired,&amp;nbsp;but after taking a few minutes to read many of the quotes I have posted on a wall in my office, I&amp;rsquo;m ready to take on the world again.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The screensaver on my computer says, &amp;ldquo;Imua,&amp;rdquo; which means to move forward with strong momentum.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;rsquo;s only a four-letter word, but it&amp;nbsp;quickly reminds me that I&amp;rsquo;m in control of my destiny (if I choose to be).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Quotes are powerful, and somehow they have a way of sending you just the message you need at the exact moment you need it.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here are twenty-five of my favorite inspirational quotes.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
