Mmm, coffee. Not only does it wake us and warm us up, it can even inspire us when we least expect it. Here are some of my favorite inspirational quotes that happen to include coffee. Hope these help start your day on a high note.

“Actually, this seems to be the basic need of the human heart in nearly every great crisis – a good hot cup of coffee.” – Alexander King

“A cup of coffee – real coffee – home-browned, home ground, home made, that comes to you dark as a hazel-eye, but changes to a golden bronze as you temper it with cream that never cheated, but was real cream from its birth, thick, tenderly yellow, perfectly sweet, neither lumpy nor frothing on the Java: such a cup of coffee is a match for twenty blue devils and will exorcise them all.” – Henry Ward Beecher

“Mothers are those wonderful people who can get up in the morning before the smell of coffee.”

“To drink is human, to drink coffee is divine!” – Unknown

“Behind every successful woman…is a substantial amount of coffee.” – Stephanie Piro

“Coffee. Creative lighter fluid.” – Floyd Maxwell

“Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee and just as hard to sleep after.” – Anne Morrow Lindbergh

“Flavour is like design: it has to be sexy, simple, intuitive like a beautiful woman. It should never need to be understood or interpreted, its message is evident and sensual.” ~ Tonino Lamborghini
