If you understand this secret, you know you are that which you seek. ~ Rumi
Encouragement quotes by Rumi
How do you identify someone who needs encouragement? That person is breathing. TRUETT CATHEY ~ John C. Maxwell
Encouragement quotes by John C. Maxwell
Encouragement is like oxygen to the human spirit. Don't forget you're carrying someone else's air. Encourage them; help them breathe. ~ Jeremy Riddle
Encouragement quotes by Jeremy Riddle
If you have a big idea or plan that you desire to execute, don't depend solely on others to appreciate your efforts. You must have the ability to encourage yourself. At times seeking encouragement from others can lead to disappointment which sometimes leads you to neglect your obligation. Never build your hopes and dreams based primarily on the accolades from others. You may discover a rude awakening. ~ Amaka Imani Nkosazana
Encouragement quotes by Amaka Imani Nkosazana
Are you aware that the people you hate, become more successful than you and without you. After, they are unable to help you, because of the hate you have for them . Your hate is standing in your way of being successful and happy. It's time to let go of your hate , it's now a heavy burden on you that your life can't move on. ~ De Philosopher DJ Kyos
Encouragement quotes by De Philosopher DJ Kyos
Keep walking the walk, one step at a time. ~ Joyce Meyer
Encouragement quotes by Joyce Meyer
Right and wrong, good and bad, he regarded as qualities solely of conduct - of acts and omissions; there being no feeling which may not lead, and does not frequently lead, either to good or to bad actions: conscience itself, the very desire to act right, often leading people to act wrong. Consistently carrying out the doctrine, that the object of praise and blame should be the discouragement of wrong conduct and the encouragement of right, he refused to let his praise or blame be influenced by the motive of the agent. ~ Christopher Hitchens
Encouragement quotes by Christopher Hitchens
Mice: But reading all the good writers might discourage you.
Y.C.: Then you ought to be discouraged. ~ Ernest Hemingway,
Encouragement quotes by Ernest Hemingway,
The heavenly Father is a hope to the hopeless. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Encouragement quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
If ever the adventure proves tiring, or you lose sight of your dream, look to the west at sunset. There, on days when the skies are clear, you might see upon the horizon a thin layer of amber mist. When it appears, you will know its purpose: it is the mist of believing. ~ Fennel Hudson
Encouragement quotes by Fennel Hudson
Love is not blind, lovers can see what others cannot see. ~ Jimvirle/Jinvirle
Encouragement quotes by Jimvirle/Jinvirle
The Bible teaches us to be more concerned about the needs and feelings of others than our own. We are to encourage and build self-confidence in our loved ones, friends, and associates. ~ Billy Graham
Encouragement quotes by Billy Graham
God, who knows me by name, [is] right next to me. ~ Shirley Corder
Encouragement quotes by Shirley Corder
Their words of encouragement were just what I needed. I was doing a great job, and I appreciated their cheers.I felt a dormlike camaraderie in the burn unit, since each of us knew the challenges we were facing like no one else could, and therefore how meaningful each triumph was. ~ Stephanie Nielson
Encouragement quotes by Stephanie Nielson
Children need the wisdom of their elders; the aging need the encouragement of a child's exuberance. ~ Corrie Ten Boom
Encouragement quotes by Corrie Ten Boom
Till we recognize what's sick and messed up about ourselves this world is gonna stay sick and messed up. ~ Lacey Sturm
Encouragement quotes by Lacey Sturm
Sometimes the best goal you can set is just to get out of bed every day. If you can succeed at this, then other things become possible. ~ Cynthia Patterson
Encouragement quotes by Cynthia Patterson
Making life changing decisions are never easy but are a very important part of life. Some people will not like your decision and some may even get emotionally hurt. Ultimately it all comes back to what decisions are best for you. Remember this is "Your" life in which God gave you. So seek unbiased advice and not yes men, nor people attempting to influence your decision based on their motives. I heard a pastor once say " God did not call you to be unhappy to make others happy" you are not responsible for others happiness, but you are responsible for your own happiness -Live out your Dreams- ~ Augusta DeJuan Hathaway
Encouragement quotes by Augusta DeJuan Hathaway
Hope is the little bird that continues to sing the songs of possibilities in your heart when everything else says to give up. ~ Debasish Mridha
Encouragement quotes by Debasish Mridha
If intellectual life involves a certain amount of self-awareness about alternative interpretations or a certain amount of tentativeness in exploring the connection between evidence and conclusions, it was hard to find any encouragement for the intellectual life in the self-assured dogmatism of fundamentalism. ~ Mark A. Noll
Encouragement quotes by Mark A. Noll
The Great stories give us the hope and the courage to survive life. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Encouragement quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Imagine, as realistically as possible, the place where you want to be in the near future, the state you wish to reach and the Universe will help you and guide you ~ Napoleon Hill
Encouragement quotes by Napoleon Hill
No local church can afford to go without the encouragement and nourishment that will come to it by sending away its best people. ~ David Penman
Encouragement quotes by David Penman
America has a genius for the encouragement of fame. ~ Gilbert K. Chesterton
Encouragement quotes by Gilbert K. Chesterton
There is no such thing as constructive criticism. There is constructive advice, constructive guidance, constructive counsel, encouragement, suggestion, and instruction. Criticism, however, is not constructive but a destructive means of faultfinding that cripples all parties involved. Don't be fooled into thinking otherwise. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
Encouragement quotes by Richelle E. Goodrich
The cripple gave him a look. 'I remember that just yesterday you told me I was a cretin and a fool and a disgrace to the memory of my ancestors.'
'Academic hyperbole.' Morg dismissed the complaint with the wave of one hand.'It was merely enthusiastic encouragement, I assure you.'
'Perhaps overenthusiastic would be a more accurate description' muttered the cripple. ~ Karen Miller
Encouragement quotes by Karen Miller
On the whole it may be observed, that the specific use of a body of unproductive consumers, is to give encouragement to wealth by maintaining such a balance between produce and consumption as will give the greatest exchangeable value to the results of the national industry. ~ Thomas Malthus
Encouragement quotes by Thomas Malthus
He will break it to her gently, he thinks. A hint, at first; a few more suggestions in letters over the coming months; in September he'll raise the subject. By then...Perhaps he'll have more encouragement from Dr. Hooker by then, which he can offer to Clara as evidence that his work is worthwhile. Perhaps he'll understand by then how he might justify his plans to her. For now - what else can he say in this letter? He has kept too much from her, these last months. If his letters were meant to be a map of his mind, a way for her to follow his trail, then he has failed her. Somehow, as summer comes to these peaks and he does his job for the last time, he must find a way to let her share in his journey. But for now all he can do is triangulate the first few points. ~ Andrea Barrett
Encouragement quotes by Andrea Barrett
Make at least one definite move daily toward your goal. ~ Bruce Lee
Encouragement quotes by Bruce Lee
My entire life, I've never been able to understand the concept of not being happy or excited when others were successful or had something good happen to them. It quite honestly is a concept that I cannot grasp. ~ Dan Pearce
Encouragement quotes by Dan Pearce
I think that one of the motivating factors was in my last year of law school: we had a competition, and I won the competition; it was judged by several of the federal judges at the time. I got a tremendous amount of encouragement to pursue litigation from them at the time. ~ Robert Shapiro
Encouragement quotes by Robert Shapiro
Relax. Cultivate your children's capabilities. Maximize their strengths. Do not handicap their unique skills by spending too much time on making them average in everything. Help them create their own style, and appreciate your children for who God created them to be. ~ Tamara L. Chilver
Encouragement quotes by Tamara L. Chilver
Curriculum companies provide more work than is needed. I never finished the complete curriculum when I taught in a classroom or at home. If your race is with your curriculum, learn to pick and choose what to use, and please do not attempt to cover it all or your race will be ongoing and you will be exhausted. Even races require pit stops to refuel. ~ Tamara L. Chilver
Encouragement quotes by Tamara L. Chilver
My body had never felt so small or so fragile. In one sense, it was a moment of ecstasy and I was comforted with soft, almost compassionate, encouragement.

"Delicate," she said. The word imprinted on me like the cold before it. I was weak and going numb, but I was delicate. This is what I had wanted. I wanted to lose weight and retain some ounce of delicacy to resemble that of the spider-figured women I had seen in all those flashing images. Suddenly, the lack of strength displayed by my body was counterbalanced with a surging lease of mental satisfaction and might. As I lay in bed, buried under all my layers of clothes and bed sheets, the warmth still could not reach me. It was too late for that now and I didn't care. I just wanted to sleep, basking in my success and enduring the cold until I could finally slip into a forgetful slumber. ~ Leanne Waters
Encouragement quotes by Leanne Waters
When we start focusing on things we can do and don't think so much about the things we can't do, things really start to happen ~ Norman Vincent Peale
Encouragement quotes by Norman Vincent Peale
Faith gives us strength.
Grace gives us power.
Hope gives us anchor. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Encouragement quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
In every moment, know that the Lord's presence is always with you. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Encouragement quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Luck is for the unprepared, and I have trained you too well to rely on anything that fickle."

I began to climb. "Such words of encouragement. You should work for Hallmark. ~ Karen Lynch
Encouragement quotes by Karen Lynch
Encouragement is awesome. Think about it. It has the capacity to lift a man's or a woman's shoulders. To breathe fresh air into the fading embers of a smoldering dream. To actually change the course of another human being's day, week, or life. ~ Charles R. Swindoll
Encouragement quotes by Charles R. Swindoll
Bullies have issues within themselves and they are uncomfortable in their skin. So, they'd rather make someone feel bad to pick themselves up. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Encouragement quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
encouragement. Becky Johnson of Hot Tree Editing has been a miracle worker, and this updated version goes to prove how well an author and editor can work together to create a wonderful story. I am blessed ~ Sheila Kell
Encouragement quotes by Sheila Kell
The scientists do not get enough help, enough encouragement, to change their field from time to time because the pressure is too high or is to perform something. And once you start in a new field, you are a nobody to start with, you see. ~ Heinrich Rohrer
Encouragement quotes by Heinrich Rohrer
Our public education system does a great job. I don't think it's broken. We aren't interested in doing reform for reform's sake. I believe in public education; it did a great job for me. It deserves our support and encouragement. ~ Denise Juneau
Encouragement quotes by Denise Juneau
The power of encouragement is the grace of life. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Encouragement quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
If you intend to be of assistance, your eye is not upon the trouble but upon the assistance, and that is quite different. When you are looking for a solution, you are feeling positive emotion, but when you are looking at a problem, you are feeling negative emotion. ~ Esther Hicks
Encouragement quotes by Esther Hicks
The proper governmental policy in a depression is strict laissez-faire, including stringent budget slashing, and coupled perhaps with positive encouragement for credit contraction. ~ Murray Rothbard
Encouragement quotes by Murray Rothbard
To derive the fullest comfort and encouragement from Romans 8:28 we must realize that God is at work in a proactive, not reactive, fashion. That is, God does not just respond to an adversity in our lives to make the best of a bad situation. He knows before He initiates or permits the adversity exactly how He will use it for our good. ~ Jerry Bridges
Encouragement quotes by Jerry Bridges
It is only within the context of the church that ongoing spiritual care, encouragement, and accountability can occur. It is only as we use the powerful word of the gospel in each other's lives that we can change. ~ Elyse M. Fitzpatrick
Encouragement quotes by Elyse M. Fitzpatrick
Consider, too, how great is the encouragement which all the world gives to the lover; neither is he supposed to be doing anything dishonourable; but if he succeeds he is praised, and if he fail he is blamed. ~ Plato
Encouragement quotes by Plato
Friends, there are many areas in which I need encouragement, but worrying is not one of them. I worry the way Renee Fleming sings high Cs: Effortlessly. Loudly. At length. ~ Martha Beck
Encouragement quotes by Martha Beck
Jesus wept, but He never complained. ~ Charles Spurgeon
Encouragement quotes by Charles Spurgeon
If you possess a gentle spirit will move mountains. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Encouragement quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
He had been the pastor of Tate's church since Tate's boys were in high school
probably over ten years now. Tate thought he was a fair man with a good heart. It helped that his sermons were interesting and not fire and brimstone like the guy they'd had before him. Tate understood too well the repercussions of his sin. He went to church to hear about hope, to be encouraged. That was a thing Mitch seemed naturally born to
encouraging others. ~ Vannetta Chapman
Encouragement quotes by Vannetta Chapman
Most of us, swimming against the tides of trouble the world knows nothing about, need only a bit of praise or encouragement - and we will make the goal. ~ Robert Collier
Encouragement quotes by Robert Collier
It's no wonder I was so fascinated. The kind of home I imagine--one that offers stability and encouragement and the space to learn and grow as an individual--is a luxury I never had growing up. ~ Samra Habib
Encouragement quotes by Samra Habib
Before you can be effective in communication with ANYONE else, you must know who YOU are. It begins with you.
Believe me when I say, I don't need anyone's approval in this classroom ... I'm great company for myself. Me, myself, and I ... we laugh a lot. (Said on the first week of class each phase, somewhat rewording each time, but the gist is always there). ~ Dacia Wilkinson
Encouragement quotes by Dacia Wilkinson
I seek divinity and spirituality of my soul. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Encouragement quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
There is a healthier self within each of us, just wating for encouragement ~ Gloria Steinem
Encouragement quotes by Gloria Steinem
Encouragement is a powerful gift to give someone that is brave enough to share pieces of their soul with the world. ~ Kade Cook
Encouragement quotes by Kade Cook
If you wish to grow in spirit, feed on the spiritual food, the HOLY WORD. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Encouragement quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
I think it's cool to give people encouragement. ~ Avey Tare
Encouragement quotes by Avey Tare
It is not about our world collapsing. Rather, it's about another human being holding our hand in the collapse. For then the carnage is no longer about the loss, but about what both of these hands are going to build from it. ~ Craig D. Lounsbrough
Encouragement quotes by Craig D. Lounsbrough
Love is force of being. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Encouragement quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
You ought to enjoy the rhythm of the sacred ride. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Encouragement quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
My mother gave me a piece of bread, which was love and encouragement. The correction was the meat, the substance. And then she would sandwich that with another piece of bread, which was love and encouragement. That was very important in shaping and molding our morality, our understanding of ourselves, making sure that we didn't think we were better than or less than anyone, feeling no more worthy or no less worthy than anyone else. ~ Lauryn Hill
Encouragement quotes by Lauryn Hill
Stay focus on your ultimate sacred goal. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Encouragement quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
We would never have gained the knowledge if it wasn't meant to be used." Jo was in teacher mode, and so we began to dance. ~ Honeysuckle Pear
Encouragement quotes by Honeysuckle Pear
One night I realized that when you give people understanding and encouragement a funny little meek childish look abashes their eyes, no matter what they've been doing they weren't sure it was right - lambies all over the world. ~ Jack Kerouac
Encouragement quotes by Jack Kerouac
It's the biggest moon I've seen in all my life, a moon glowing with lambent encouragement, a moon bigger than the earth itself. It's so large and so bright you can actually see the eyes and the nose and all the craters around them--it's a moon you could hunt anything under. Deer, or your own destiny. It's pregnant with triplet moons, or stuffed either icing, or perhaps dead and bloated with tiny feeding moon flies. ~ Jacinda Townsend
Encouragement quotes by Jacinda Townsend
Teaser from the soon to be released: Redemption of Fire; My Demon Master Book 2. (with Reference to the character, Cain, from Dormant Desires, Book 4; CAIN.

In the oddest, surreal moment, I look out and see one lone face. It's Cain, the chimera by curse and not birth. He's been welcomed into Demon-kind as one of them. Almost a treasured being for all his uniqueness. In all reality, he is the most divine among us. The product of an angel and a Neanderthal. A very son of the first Eve. It is he alone who is not prostrate before me. Our eyes lock and my vision goes wonky. I can see details and colors and etched outlines like I never imagined. I see Cain's magnificent aura as it embraces him like a full-body halo. He is watching the spectacle that is me with detached interest. It's as if he has truly seen everything there is too see and this is nothing more than a repeat of some long forgotten original episode. He is unafraid. I can feel how calm he is. Before he drops his eyes, surrendering to the dominance of my dragon, he gives me a slightly amused expression and a small nod of encouragement. ~ Payne Hawthorne
Encouragement quotes by Payne Hawthorne
God's grace gives you strength to overcome any situation. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Encouragement quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Cookery is a wholly unselfish art: as 'art for art's sake' it is unthinkable. A man may sing in his bath every morning without the least encouragement, but no cook can cook just for his or her own sake in a like manner. All good cooks, like all great artists, must have an audience worth cooking for. ~ Andre Simon
Encouragement quotes by Andre Simon
How would you respond, I wonder, if I cajoled with gentle words of encouragement, assuring you that all will be well in your absence from the party and that your health and welfare are of the utmost importance to us all?"
"I would probably doze off in the middle of your speech."

-Vitor & Ravenna ~ Katharine Ashe
Encouragement quotes by Katharine Ashe
May you see great visions. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Encouragement quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Good boy" can be canceled out the next day by "bad boy." "You're a smart girl" by "What a stupid thing to do!" "Careful" by "Careless" . . . and so on.

But you can't take away the time he shoveled the whole walkway even though his arms were tired and his toes were frozen. Or the time he made the baby laugh with his goofy faces when the babysitter couldn't get her to stop crying, or found his mom's reading glasses, or figured out how to make the alarm on the cell phone stop going off when no one else could do it. These are the things he can draw upon to give himself confidence in the face of adversity and discouragement. In the past he did something he was proud of, and he has, within himself, the power to do it again. ~ Julie King
Encouragement quotes by Julie King
Sometimes you might accept yourselves for who you are not, only because others treat you less than who you know to be your true self. You might begin to accept being treated a certain way because you wanted to be noticed and then later on wonder why are you allowing a person to treat you as such. That's when you've realized that you are more than how they treat you or call you. They might call you names but you know who you are. Do not let a person treat you less than you are. Hold on to your values, you're nothing without your principles ~ Marcia M. Edwards
Encouragement quotes by Marcia M. Edwards
How do I find joy in my homeschool journey?
The answer is quite simple. I accept lots of God's grace. Grace to make mistakes. Grace to take a nap when I am exhausted. Grace to not feel guilty. Without His abundant provision of grace, I would be depleted, discouraged, and dissatisfied. Instead, I place all my trust in His direction and I embrace my calling as a homeschool mom. His grace has set me free from worry, fear, doubt, and guilt and I am overflowing with joy. Praise God! ~ Tamara L. Chilver
Encouragement quotes by Tamara L. Chilver
Encouragement creates a pathway to seemingly impossible dreams ~ Felicita "Terry" Robinson
Encouragement quotes by Felicita
I have faced many moments of despair, thank God who relieved me from distress. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Encouragement quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Hope is a great assurance. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Encouragement quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
If you're alive, you're creative. ~ Patti Digh
Encouragement quotes by Patti Digh
Words are singularly the most powerful force available to humanity. We can choose to use this force constructively with words of encouragement, or destructively using words of despair. Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate and to humble. ~ Yehuda Berg
Encouragement quotes by Yehuda Berg
You're scared and I understand that. I know it's difficult because you want to imagine the ending but you can't even imagine the beginning. But everything will be ok. It just takes time. ~ Andrew Davidson
Encouragement quotes by Andrew Davidson
When you consider what you would love to accomplish in your life but feel ill-prepared to bring it about, picture the eighty-nine Michelangelo living five centuries ago, painting, sculpting, and writing. Imagine he is telling you that you can create whatever you desire, and the great danger is not in having too much hope, but in reaching what you have perceived as hopeless. ~ Wayne Dyer
Encouragement quotes by Wayne Dyer
Do not allow the fear of hurting stop you from loving. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Encouragement quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
It is imperative that we do not fear challenges that we have attracted to promote our growth. Every obstacle we encounter is an opportunity for spiritual evolution. ~ Dannion Brinkley
Encouragement quotes by Dannion Brinkley
It's not that parents love their children less than in generations past. It's that they no longer receive consistent societal support for the belief that parenting is their highest priority ... TV messages championed rather then detracted from wholesome ideals ... maybe "the old days" before the societal changes of the '60s weren't perfect, but they allowed a bevy of family-friendly forces to surround parents with encouragement for their mission ... ~ Diane Medved
Encouragement quotes by Diane Medved
If you can endure, if you can persevere, if you can work and not grow weary, if you're both obsessed and talented, well, you might have a shot. ~ Auliq Ice
Encouragement quotes by Auliq Ice
Stand firm, speak up - because silence is not golden, instead, it is deadly. Do not ignore being bullied, because it will never stop. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Encouragement quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
The right word said at right time is sacred utterance. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Encouragement quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
It is an EVIL thing to be an expert in the weaknesses of our brothers and sisters. We need to be experts in the strengths of our brothers and sisters. ~ Matt Chandler
Encouragement quotes by Matt Chandler
Don't stare at the past or you'll walk right by today's opportunity. Today is God's gift to you. ~ Benjamin Lotter
Encouragement quotes by Benjamin Lotter
Be you! You are a heavenly being. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Encouragement quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
I've been dealing with physical pain these past few days and here is one of the things it has made me realize: a lot of times we find ourselves in situations, and the mindset that got you into the situation cannot be the mindset that frees you from the situation. Whether it is physical pain or emotional pain - you've got to see yourself beyond the pain. See yourself healthy and healed in the midst of the pain. By His Stripes... ~ Bobby F. Kimbrough Jr.
Encouragement quotes by Bobby F. Kimbrough Jr.
The word of God gives strength to my bones, power to my spirit and hope to my soul. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Encouragement quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Plants die off when their roots have no water to sustain them. May your tears feed the roots of love in your heart and bring healing to your soul. May God grant you the strength to move on, knowing there's so much ahead of you. ~ Kemi Sogunle
Encouragement quotes by Kemi Sogunle
What if we fan the
flames of Delight
while we get to play
in the dappled sunlight
at the edge of time? ~ Julia Ostara
Encouragement quotes by Julia Ostara
To be optimistic is NOT a blind sentiment in regard to the reality of life; but a hopeful view for the present moment ~ Quetzal
Encouragement quotes by Quetzal
For whatever reason, I didn't succumb to the stereotype that science wasn't for girls. I got encouragement from my parents. I never ran into a teacher or a counselor who told me that science was for boys. A lot of my friends did. ~ Sally Ride
Encouragement quotes by Sally Ride
For those of you who think that I have my life altogether, I definitely do not. Every season brings new challenges. For example, since I had my fifth child, I am notoriously 5-10 minutes late everywhere no matter how hard I try to be on time. I would like to say that I am "fashionably" late, but that isn't the truth either. Running in a mad dash in a parking lot (all holding hands of course) to make it somewhere 5 minutes late (instead of 6 minutes cause that makes a big difference) while one child is missing shoes and my hair is going in every direction. Yep, that is my family. ~ Tamara L. Chilver
Encouragement quotes by Tamara L. Chilver
