My favorite quotes about finding my way


Discover my favorite quotes about finding my way that motivate us when we have to make decisions and give us inspiration and courage. The reason that I decided to make this post, is due to their important role in my blog’s name. For some bloggers, choosing a name for their blog may be as easy as choosing their coffee. And, for others, it may be so difficult that requires a lot of time and thought. One thing is sure: behind the name of a blog, there is a story to tell. One of my biggest challenges was to define my inner voice and find a way to express my artistic nature and my creativity. That’s why I chose this name for my blog. So, I share with you my favorite quotes about finding the way that motivated me through these years.

My favorite quotes about finding my way

Find a way or make one


My favorite quote “I will either find a way, or I will make one.”. This quote has two different attributions. The first attribution is as a Latin proverb “Aut viam inveniam aut faciam”. Hannibal was a military commander of Carthage. He had responded with this proverb to his generals during the Second Punic War. He said so because they considered it impossible to cross the Alps with elephants. The second attribution is to Philip Sidney, an English diplomat.

“I will either find a way, or I will make one.”

Hannibal

Philip Sidney

Roy T. Bennett

What’s meant to be


“What’s meant to be will always find a way.”

Tresha Yearwood

“We can never know what to want because living only one life, we can neither compare it with our previous lives nor perfect it in our lives to come”.

Milan Kundera

‘What I really and truly want? What do you mean by that?’

Inspiring path quotes


“Never follow somebody else’s path; it doesn’t work the same way twice for anyone… the path follows you and rolls up behind you as you walk, forcing the next person to find their own way.”

J. Michael Straczynski

“Declining from the public ways, walk in unfrequented paths.”

Pythagoras

“Love will find a way through paths where wolves fear to prey.”

Lord Byron

“It is difficult to walk at one and the same time many paths of life.”

Pythagoras

“You enter the forest
at the darkest point,
where there is no path.
Where there is a way or path,
it is someone else’s path.
You are not on your own path.
If you follow someone else’s way,
you are not going to realize
your potential.”

Joseph Campbell
