Meaningful quotes help us understand and find the meaning hidden behind feelings, emotions, situations, experiences and wisdom. When it comes to words, the most close virtue associated with it is its ‘meaning’, isn’t it?

When we read motivational quotes and inspirational quotes we often try to relate the meaning of it with the situation of our life, don’t we?

Here’s a collection of most effective meaningful quotes on life, love, friendship, family, growth, self-love, time, success, education and students. It took me a week to find the most meaningful quotes from hundreds of quotes and I’m so happy that all the efforts are worth at the end because this collection of quotes will become your ready to use database of inspirational quotes in the times of crisis and when you need some meaning in life or want a little push. These words will bring that power and give you the lift to rise.

Other than that I’ve also included some meaningful quotes for fun and daily good morning messages. Life shouldn’t be that serious after all, right? So you will also find some light quotes too, of course with a deep meaning with it.

To make this post having a wide variety of wisdom, I’ve made sure that the quotes of some of the most popular and famous people gets included and hence, to name a few, here you will find the quotes from some prominent personalities such as Marcus Aurelius, Aristotle, Plato, Mahatma Gandhi, Buddha, Wayne Dyer, Paulo Coelho, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Nelson Mandela, Benjamin Franklin, Napoleon Hill, Rumi, Confucius, Bruce Lee, Lao Tzu, Dr. Seuss, William Shakespeare, Albert Einstein, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Osho, Charles Darwin, Friedrich Nietzsche, William Blake, George Bernard Shaw, Zig Ziglar, Winston Churchill, John Maxwell, Socrates, Coco Chanel, Leo Tolstoy, Brian Tracy, J.R.R. Tolkein, Abraham Lincoln and so on.

What you will read is the ultimate collection of meaningful quotes. It consists of 15 different sub-categories, crafted differently so that you can read the one you like the best or want to start with. I have also added my thoughts on some quotes. I call it “extra thought“. We all have our own thought on the given quote, right?

Small and Short meaningful quotes

This too shall pass.

Extra thought: This is a magical phrase, isn’t it? And it’s neither positive nor negative. I mean, if we read it when we are sad, it gives us a meaning that the time of sadness will pass and we will have happiness next. But if we read in the times when we are happy, it gives us an awareness that the happy times too shall pass! It’s a very shot quote but is indeed very deep and meaningful, isn’t it?

You are what you believe.

Extra thought: Often we think of ourselves from the perspective of others, i.e. we calculate our personality in terms of what others think of us or what their opinion is about us, don’t we? But at the end, it’s what YOU think of yourself matters more than anything. For example, you’re participating in a 100 meter race for the first time. You actually come last in the race. But at the same time let’s say you’ve broken your own record of time taken to complete that race. Now it comes down to YOU that what you believe. You can believe that you’ve lost the race. But you can also believe that you’ve achieved a new milestone by breaking your own record.

Think less, feel more.

Talent works, genius creates.

It’s already yours. Start believing it.

It’s your turn to be happy.

It’s ok to take a break.
