18 Surprisingly Inspirational Quotes from Some Very Unlikely Sources

I think that at some point, everyone on this planet will have said something wonderfully inspirational or poignant. It’s just a matter of time. That’s the awesome thing about words, there is always a combination of words that has never been put together in he same way that you put them together. Words are like an infinite pile of legos that you can use to build anything you want. That being said, throughout history even some of the most infamous people in the world have said some pretty profound things. I mean, after all, it was Adolf Hitler who once said “words build bridges into unexplored regions.” The fact that he also used tanks to explore regions while killing everyone along the way might have something to do with the fact that no one really puts “Hitler” and “motivational quotes” in the same sentence. Here is a collection of equally profound quotes from some equally unlikely sources:
