Filipinos are well-known for their positive spirit. No matter how hard or how strong the storm hits their area, they can still put a smile on their faces. Nothing can beat the strong spirit and perseverance of every Filipino.

So now, if you wonder why they are that brave and courageous, here are some Tagalog quotes that inspire them well and might motivate you to have a better perception in life.

Without further ado, here are the best Motivational Tagalog Quotes that are worth reading:

(“The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.”)

So, as what every Filipino does, they always do their best to make their dreams come true, so you need to do the same.


“Ang mga problema ay hindi hadlang sa pag-abot ng mga pangarap, ito ay mga gabay lamang.” – Unknown

(“It’s better to fail in doing one thing than to succeed in doing nothing.”)

You might wonder if it’s better to do nothing than to fail, but you’re wrong. If you do nothing, you already admitted your loss, that you’re coward and you’re not courageous. So it’s better to do something even if you feel that it’s better than nothing.


“Nakadepende ang pagiging maligaya sa buhay hindi sa kung anong meron ka, kundi sa kung ano ang pananaw mo sa mga bagay-bagay.” – Unknown

You are blessed no matter how hard your situation is. Because you have a GOD that will never leave you behind. It’s not about religion; it’s about your Faith that everything will be alright.


“Lahat ng bagay, pinaghihirapan. ‘Di matamis ang tagumpay kapag walang paghihirap na naranasan.” – Unknown

No pain, no gain. That what you usually know about having great success. You must know first how to fail, to go down and to be a loser before you can actually say that you succeed in your endeavors.


“Ang buhay ay pangarap para sa marurunong, laro para sa mga hangal, komedya para sa mayayaman, trahedya para sa mahihirap.” Sholom Aleichem

(“Life is a dream for the wise, a game for the fool, a comedy for the rich, a tragedy for the poor.”)

(“You don’t need anyone else to be alone, if you really want to succeed, it’s enough that you are alone for your own good.”)

You don’t need other people to do the things you want. If you really want to be successful, you need to do the things by yourself and not depend on the help of others.


“Hindi mo kailangan ng maraming chance kung willing kang magbago. Yung pagbigyan ka nang una sapat na kung talagang pursigido ka sa sinasabi mong pagbabago.” – Unknown
