Invicus

Another very strong form of inspiration for me is music, and so this jumped out at me:

Mandela: "Everybody in the stadium greeted me with a song. At the time, the future, our future, seemed very bleak. But to hear that song in the voices of people from all over our planet made me proud to be a South African. It inspired me to come home and do better. It allowed me to expect more of myself. Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika-- a very inspiring song."

Even though I'm not a South African I still love this quote, because music very often inspires me.
