Motivational quotes are wonderful tools, but I don’t think having only one favorite is the best way to go.
What one person says may touch me, another may inspire, but there is always one that shoots an arrow so deep as to awaken my soul …
When I need motivation, any kind of motivation, I often search for quotes online and read as many as it takes to motivate me.
