Positivity is not a genetic trait or something you inherit. There is always an option. One individual chooses to be happy and maintains a positive attitude on everything, whilst another chooses to despise life and moans all day, every day.
You’ll find whatever you’re seeking in your daily life. If you focus on the negative, everyone around you will offer you reasons to be annoyed. However, if you turn your emphasis to the positive side and appreciate the little nice things, you will attract more and more great outcomes.

We all need a push sometimes to keep going when things get tough. For students, school can be full of challenges and stress. That’s where inspirational quotes come in handy. They give us a quick boost of motivation when we need it most.
Inspirational quotes for students can spark new ideas, encourage hard work, and remind us why learning matters. We’ve gathered some of the best quotes to help students stay focused and driven. These words of wisdom come from successful people in many fields. They share insights on education, overcoming obstacles, and reaching goals.
1) “The only way to do great work is to love what you do.” – Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs‘ words ring true for students at all levels. This quote reminds us that passion is key to success.
When we love our studies or chosen field, we’re more likely to excel. It’s not just about getting good grades or landing a high-paying job.
True satisfaction comes from doing work that matters to us. Jobs suggests we keep searching until we find what truly excites us.
This advice applies to picking classes, majors, and future careers. It’s okay if we don’t know our passion right away.
The journey of discovery is part of the process. We shouldn’t settle for something that doesn’t inspire us.
Jobs compares finding our calling to matters of the heart. When we find the right path, we’ll know it feels right.
This quote encourages us to pursue our interests with dedication. It reminds us that great work stems from genuine enthusiasm.
For students, this means exploring different subjects and activities. We should pay attention to what sparks our curiosity and joy.
2) “Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.” – Albert Schweitzer
This quote from Albert Schweitzer flips the common idea that success leads to happiness. Instead, it suggests that being happy with what we do is the real path to success.
Schweitzer tells us to focus on finding joy in our work and studies. When we love what we’re doing, we’re more likely to put in effort and excel.
For students, this means choosing subjects and activities that truly interest us. We shouldn’t just chase grades or pick classes because they look good on applications.

Success comes naturally when we’re engaged and enthusiastic. Our positive attitude helps us learn better and stick with tough tasks.
This quote reminds us that happiness isn’t a reward we get after succeeding. It’s a mindset that helps us succeed along the way.
3) “Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life.” – Steve Jobs
This quote from Steve Jobs reminds us to make the most of our lives. We only have so much time, and it’s important to use it wisely.
Jobs encourages us to live authentically. We shouldn’t try to copy others or follow paths that aren’t right for us.
Instead, we need to figure out what matters to us. What are our own dreams and goals? What makes us happy?
Living someone else’s life means ignoring our own wants and needs. It’s like wearing clothes that don’t fit – uncomfortable and not true to who we are.
We can take inspiration from others, but our choices should come from within. Our time is precious, so we must spend it on things that truly matter to us.
This quote pushes us to be brave. It’s not always easy to follow our own path. But it’s worth it to live a life that feels real and meaningful to us.

This “something” is our unique talents, skills, and determination. It’s the part of us that keeps going when things get tough. Larson wants us to tap into this inner power.
When we believe in ourselves, we can face any obstacle. Whether it’s a hard test or a personal problem, we have the strength to get through it. This quote can give students confidence when they need it most.
Larson’s words can be a source of motivation. They remind us that we’re capable of more than we might think. By trusting in our abilities, we can push past our limits and achieve great things.
5) “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” – Nelson Mandela
Nelson Mandela’s words remind us that difficult tasks often appear impossible at first. This quote encourages students to keep trying, even when things seem too hard.
We all face challenges that can feel overwhelming. Whether it’s a tough exam or a big project, the first steps can be daunting. Mandela’s wisdom tells us to push through these feelings.
The quote highlights the importance of persistence. By continuing to work towards our goals, we can achieve things we once thought impossible. This applies to both academic and personal challenges.
Mandela’s life shows the truth in his words. He faced seemingly insurmountable obstacles but kept working towards his goals. His example can inspire students to tackle their own challenges.
This quote teaches us not to give up when things get tough. It reminds us that with effort and determination, we can overcome obstacles and reach our goals. Students can apply this mindset to their studies and beyond.

He encourages us to use what we have. We all possess unique skills, knowledge, and resources. Even if they seem limited, we can make progress by putting them to good use.

This quote speaks to students facing challenges or feeling overwhelmed. It reminds us that we have the power to make positive changes, no matter our situation. We can all start somewhere, use our abilities, and take action today.

2. “I think empathy is really important, and I think only when our clever brain and our human heart work together in harmony can we achieve our full potential.” – Jane Goodall

9. “To reconnect with nature is key if we want to save the planet.” – Jane Goodall

12. “We have the choice to use the gift of our life to make the world a better place ― or not to bother.” – Jane Goodall
13. “In what terms should we think of these beings, nonhuman yet possessing so very many human-like characteristics? How should we treat them? Surely we should treat them with the same consideration and kindness as we show to other humans; and as we recognize human rights, so too should we recognize the rights of the great apes? Yes.” – Jane Goodall

17. “If the factory farm does indeed unravel – and it must – then there is hope that we can, gradually, reverse the environmental damage it has caused.

And eventually, the horrendous contamination caused by animal waste can be cleaned up. None of this will be easy.” – Jane Goodall
18. “We have so far to go to realize our human potential for compassion, altruism, and love.” – Jane Goodall

As such, they deserve our respect. And our help. Who will plead for them if we are silent? Thousands of people who say they ‘love’ animals sit down once or twice a day to enjoy the flesh of creatures who have been treated so with little respect and kindness just to make more meat.” – Jane Goodall

22. “One thing I had learned from watching chimpanzees with their infants is that having a child should be fun.” – Jane Goodall
23. “I’m always pushing for human responsibility. Given that chimpanzees and many other animals are sentient and sapient, then we should treat them with respect.” – Jane Goodall
24. “And if we dare to look into those eyes, then we shall feel their suffering in our hearts. More and more people have seen that appeal and felt it in their hearts. All around the world there is an awakening of understanding and compassion, and understanding that reaches out to help the suffering animals in their vanishing homelands. That embraces hungry, sick, and desperate human beings, people who are starving while the fortunate among us have so much more than we need. And if, one by one, we help them, the hurting animals, the desperate humans, then together we shall alleviate so much of the hunger, fear, and pain in the world. Together we can bring change to the world, gradually replacing fear and hatred with compassion and love. Love for all living beings.” – Jane Goodall
25. “I think the most important thing is to keep active and to hope that your mind stays active.” – Jane Goodall

27. “From my perspective, I absolutely believe in a greater spiritual power, far greater than I am, from which I have derived strength in moments of sadness or fear. That’s what I believe, and it was very, very strong in the forest.” – Jane Goodall
28. “People say maybe we have a soul and chimpanzees don’t. I feel that it’s quite possible that if we have souls, chimpanzees have souls as well.” – Jane Goodall
29. “If we do not do something to help these creatures, we make a mockery of the whole concept of justice.” – Jane Goodall
30. “Someday we shall look back on this dark era of agriculture and shake our heads. How could we have ever believed that it was a good idea to grow our food with poisons?” – Jane Goodall
Jane Goodall quotes to bring humans and animals closer together
31. “Each one of us matters, has a role to play, and makes a difference. Each one of us must take responsibility for our own lives, and above all, show respect and love for living things around us, especially each other.” – Jane Goodall
32. “All the time I was getting closer to animals and nature, and as a result, closer to myself and more and more in tune with the spiritual power that I felt all around. For those who have experienced the joy of being alone with nature there is really little need for me to say much more; for those who have not, no words of mine can even describe the powerful, almost mystical knowledge of beauty and eternity that come, suddenly, and all unexpected. The beauty was always there, but moments of true awareness were rare. They would come, unannounced; perhaps when I was watching the pale flush preceding dawn; or looking up through the rustling leaves of some giant forest tree into the greens and browns and the black shadows and the occasionally ensured bright fleck of blue sky; or when I stood, as darkness fell, with one hand on the still warm trunk of a tree and looked at the sparkling of an early moon on the never still, softly sighing water of Lake Tanganyika.” – Jane Goodall

34. “Lasting change is a series of compromises. And compromise is all right, as long your values don’t change.” – Jane Goodall
35. “We are, indeed, often cruel and evil. Nobody can deny this. We gang up on each one another, we torture each other, with words as well as deeds, we fight, we kill. But we are also capable of the most noble, generous, and heroic behavior.” – Jane Goodall
36. “I don’t think that faith, whatever you’re being faithful about, really can be scientifically explained. And I don’t want to explain this whole life business through truth, science. There’s so much mystery. There’s so much awe.” – Jane Goodall
37. “Words can be said in bitterness and anger, and often there seems to be an element of truth in the nastiness. And words don’t go away, they just echo around.” – Jane Goodall
38. “You cannot share your life with a dog, as I had done in Bournemouth, or a cat, and not know perfectly well that animals have personalities and minds and feelings.” – Jane Goodall
39. “We have a responsibility toward the other life-forms of our planet whose continued existence is threatened by the thoughtless behavior of our own human species … Environmental responsibility ― for if there is no God, then, obviously, it is up to us to put things right.” – Jane Goodall
40. “And always I have this feeling ― which may not be true at all ― that I am being used as a messenger.” – Jane Goodall
Jane Goodall quotes to motivate you
41. “Cultural speciation had been crippling to human moral and spiritual growth. It had hindered freedom of thought, limited our thinking, imprisoned us in the cultures into which we had been born.” – Jane Goodall
42. “We find animals doing things that we, in our arrogance, used to think was ‘just human.’” – Jane Goodall
43. “And I thought how sad it was that, for all our sophisticated intellect, for all our noble aspirations, our aggressive behavior was not just similar in many ways to that of the chimpanzees – it was even worse. Worse because human beings have the potential to rise above their baser instincts, whereas chimpanzees probably do not.” – Jane Goodall
44. “There is a powerful force unleashed when young people resolve to make a change.” – Jane Goodall
45. “Most of us don’t realize the difference we could make. We love to shrug off our own responsibilities, to point fingers at others. ‘Surely,’ we say, ‘the pollution, waste, and other ills are not our fault. They are the fault of the industry, business, science. They are the fault of the politicians,’ This leads to a destructive and potentially deadly apathy.” – Jane Goodall
46. “But let us not forget that human love and compassion are equally deeply rooted in our primate heritage, and in this sphere too our sensibilities are of a higher order of magnitude than those of chimpanzees.” – Jane Goodall
47. “We still have a long way to go. But we are moving in the right direction. If only we can overcome cruelty, to human and animal, with love and compassion we shall stand at the threshold of a new era in human moral and spiritual evolution ― and realize, at last, our most unique quality: humanity.” – Jane Goodall
48. “I became totally absorbed into this forest existence. It was an unparalleled period when aloneness was a way of life; a perfect opportunity, it might seem, for meditating on the meaning of existence and my role in it all.” – Jane Goodall
49. “The hardest part of returning to a truly healthy environment may be changing the current totally unsustainable heavy-meat-eating culture of increasing numbers of people around the world. But we must try. We must make a start, one by one.” – Jane Goodall
50. “The least I can do is speak out for those who cannot speak for themselves.” – Jane Goodall

52. “I think the best evenings are when we have messages, things that make us think, but we can also laugh and enjoy each other’s company.” – Jane Goodall
53. “Without patience I could never have succeeded.” – Jane Goodall

58. “You may not believe in evolution, and that’s all right. How we humans came to be the way we are is far less important than how we should act now to get out of the mess we have made for ourselves.” – Jane Goodall
59. “Any little thing that brings us back into communion with the natural world and the spiritual power that permeates all life will help us to move a little further along the path of human moral and spiritual evolution.” – Jane Goodall

With the help of these Medusa quotes, you can decide whether she is powerful and dangerous, or beautiful and betrayed.
Medusa is one of the gorgons in Greek mythology. She was a protector, and unlike her family, she was beautiful and mortal.
According to legend, after a love affair with Poisedon, Athena transformed Medusa into a mythical creature with snakes for hair. Anyone who looked into her eyes was turned to stone.
According to legend, she was eventually beheaded, but her eyes retained the ability to turn people into stone and were used as a weapon.
Medusa quotes about the legendary Greek guardian.
1. “You only have to look at the Medusa straight on to see her. And she’s not deadly. She’s beautiful and she’s laughing.” – Helene Cixous
2. “Beauty is that Medusa’s head which men go armed to seek and sever, and dead will starve and sting forever.” – Archibald MacLeish
3. “A beautiful mortal, Medusa was the exception in the family, until she incurred the wrath of Athena, either due to her boastfulness or because of an ill-fated love affair with Poseidon. Transformed into a vicious monster with snakes for hair, she was killed by Perseus, who afterward used her still potent head as a weapon, before gifting it to Athena.” – greekmythology.com
4. “You may gaze at her reflection in still waters of the lake, but don’t look at her directly or death will be your fate.” – Angel Witch
5. “In mythology, the Medusa can petrify people with a look – which is a good thing, I think. But the Medusa is a unique symbol – something strong. It’s about going all the way.” – Donatella Versace
6. “Medusa – whose name probably comes from the Ancient Greek word for ‘guardian’” – greekmythology.com
7. “Every part of her was still except her hair, which blew round her face in the damp night like Medusa’s serpentine locks rearing to strike.” – Katherine Pine
8. “Medusa was fascinating to work with because I gave her a snake’s body so that she could pull herself with her hands which gave her a very creepy aura. I didn’t want to animate cosmic gowns. Most Medusas you see in the classics have flowing robes which would be mad to even try to animate.” – Ray Harryhausen
9. “She was usually represented as a winged female creature having a head of hair consisting of snakes; unlike the Gorgons, she was sometimes represented as very beautiful.” – Britannica
10. “Pegasus’s dad was poseidon, the god of the sea, and his mom was Medusa and evil Gorgon who had fangs and lizard skin and living snakes for hair. And you thought your family was weird.” – Evan Kuhlman
The Best Insightful Medusa quotes
11. “Margaret Thatcher has shown that there is power and dignity to be won by defying the status quo and the majority rather than by adapting to them. If the British left, which she froze into immobility like Medusa, could bring itself to learn from this, then we might not have to look upon her like again.” – Christopher Hitchens
12. “The look she gave him in reply would have petrified Medusa.” – Karsten Knight
13. “The television, that insidious beast, that Medusa which freezes a billion people to stone every night, staring fixedly, that Siren which called and sang and promised so much and gave, after all, so little.” – Ray Bradbury
14. “Writer’s block results from too much head. Cut off your head. Pegasus, poetry, was born of Medusa when her head was cut off. You have to be reckless when writing. Be as crazy as your conscience allows.” – Joseph Campbell
15. “The literary scene is a kind of Medusa’s raft, small and sinking, and one’s instinct when a newcomer tries to clamber aboard is to step on his fingers.” – John Updike
16. “You cursed my soul, my mind is dead. Eyes like a weapon, snakes on my head. A priestess I was, the pride of Athena. Now I’m banned to live the life of a beast.” – Grave Digger
17. “You’re going native! Now, put down that ridiculous tray and help me kill this demigod. Or have you forgotten that he’s the one who vaporized Medusa?” – Rick Riordan
Other Medusa quotes
18. “If a woman shows too often the Medusa’s head, she must not be astonished if her lover is turned into stone.” – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
19. “Tom just stood there, sword in hand, a huge grin on his lips. He stared at Medusa and Medusa stared at him, and in this moment that made his dreams come true, Tom could only think of one thing to say.” – S.J. Kincaid
20. “Hey, Dad, can I borrow the severed head of Medusa tonight? I’m going out with my friends. Okay, honey, just bring it back by midnight, and don’t petrify anyone.” – Rick Riordan
21. “We must kill the false woman who is preventing the live one from breathing.” – Helene Cixous
22. “Fascinated by the glitter of gain, man gazes at the Medusa-like face of greed and stands petrified.” – Manly P. Hall
23. “I’ve been prepping for my role as Medusa.” – Joaquin Phoenix
24. “You’re probably wondering: why were Medusa’s kids a golden warrior and a winged horse? And how had they been stuck in Medusa’s body all those years? Heck, I dunno. I’m just telling you how it was. You want stuff to make sense, you’re in the wrong universe” – Rick Riordan
25. “To meet God or Medusa face to face, even if it means risking everything human in myself. I dream of a hard and brutal mysticism in which the naked self merges with the nonhuman world and yet somehow survives still intact individual, separate. Paradox and bedrock.” – Edward Abbey
What did these Medusa quotes teach you?
Medusa is a well-known figure from Greek mythology. She has frequently appeared in films and television shows.
There’s just something about a woman with snakes for hair that draws people in and makes them want to see what happens. Furthermore, the ability to turn people into stone with simple eye contact is alluring.
However, myths and legends tend to evolve over time. Some versions of the story claim that Medusa, like her sisters, was a hideous beast from the start.
According to one story, when some of her blood was spilled on the ground, it transformed into venomous snakes and killed someone. Whether the story says she was born a beast or was transformed into one, her image is intriguing.
