One of my pastimes is reading and reflecting famous inspiring quotes. I have been collecting inspiring quotes since school days. When I was younger, I merely love these inspiring quotes for their play of words and some of their rhyming.

In fact many of the famous inspiring quotes from Charles Dicken, Mark Twains, George Bernard Shaw, Annie Dillard and others have changed my life. They have changed my perspective of life as a whole.
