A Collection of Motivational Poems | Tipss.org

In this section of the site, you will find a collection of inspiring motivational poems. One of the great things about poems is that they?re a lot more memorable than merely reading words. Although there are times when authors will use words that aren?t the best fit just for the sake of rhyming, the message behind the words are still powerful and inspirational.

These are just some of the poems that I?ve read so far that stood out to me. I?ll continue to add more to this section so make sure to bookmark this page and check back every now and then.

Don?t Quit
Unknown

When things go wrong as they sometimes will;
When the road you?re trudging seems all uphill;
When the funds are low, and the debts are high;
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh;
When care is pressing you down a bit;
Rest if you must, but don?t you quit.

Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you can never tell how close you are;
It may be near when it seems afar.
So, stick to the fight when you?re hardest hit;
It?s when things go wrong that you mustn?t quit.

The Victor
by C. W. Longenecker

If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don?t.
If you like to win but think you can?t,
It?s almost a cinch you won?t.
If you think you?ll lose, you?re lost.
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow?s will.
It?s all in the state of mind.
If you think you are out classed, you are.
You?ve got to think high to rise.
You?ve got to be sure of your-self before
You can ever win the prize.
Life?s battles don?t always go
To the stronger or faster man.
But sooner or later, the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can.

Do More
By William Arthur Ward

Do more than belong: participate.
Do more than care: help.
Do more than believe: practice.
Do more than be fair: be kind.
Do more than forgive: forget.
Do more than dream: work.

Follow Your Dream
by Amanda Bradley

Follow your dream.
Take one step at a time and don?t settle for less,
Just continue to climb.
Follow your dream.
If you stumble, don?t stop and lose sight of your goal
Press to the top.
For only on top can we see the whole view,
Can we see what we?ve done and what we can do;
Can we then have the vision to seek something new,
Press on.
Follow your dream.

Be The Best of Whatever You Are
By Douglas Malloch

If you can?t be a pine on the top of the hill,
Be a scrub in the valley-but be
The best little scrub by the side of the rill;
Be a bush if you can?t be a tree.

If you can?t be a bush be a bit of the grass,
And some highway happier make;
If you can?t be a muskie then just be a bass
But the liveliest bass in the lake!

We can?t all be captains, we?ve got to be crew,
There?s something for all of us here,
There?s big work to do, and there?s lesser to do,
And the task you must do is the near.

If you can?t be a highway then just be a trail,
If you can?t be the sun be a star;
It isn?t by size that you win or you fail
Be the best of whatever you are!

Success
Unknown

Success is speaking words of praise,
In cheering other people?s ways.
In doing just the best you can,
With every task and every plan.

It?s silence when your speech would hurt,

Politeness when your neighbor?s curt.
It?s deafness when the scandal flows,

And sympathy with others? woes.

It?s loyalty when duty calls,
It?s courage when disaster falls.
It?s patience when the hours are long,

It?s found in laughter and in song.

It?s in the silent time of prayer,

In happiness and in despair.
In all of life and nothing less,
We find the thing we call success.
