"I was set free because my greatest fear had been realized, and I still had a daughter who I adored, and I had an old typewriter, and a big idea. And so rock bottom became a solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life. Failure meant a stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than I was, and began to direct all my energy into finishing the only work that mattered to me." - J.K. Rowling (author of Harry Potter series)


It´s eBay who has put together this book of inspiring quotes from the most successful people in the world. You can read the whole article and more quotes on Entrepreneur.com

Here are some more of my favourites:

I´ve always said that other than bad ideas, which is a reason for failure, the ability to never ever quit or give up is something that is very, very important for success as an entrepreneur." - Donald Trump

"Be thankful for what you have, you´ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don´t have, you will never, ever, have enough." - Oprah
