Here is a list of my favorite motivational quotes – at least those which I’ve found so far.
Some will resonate with you, while some won’t. When you find one that does, remember to write it down. More importantly, use its effect on you to take action – for we are The Choices we Make.
Without action, these inspirational quotes or any other tools on this site for that matter, will be absolutely useless. Action is a choice, just like sitting on the couch and doing nothing. Our choices, and actions define us in life, and manifest themselves in our character.
This list of quotes is constantly expanding so you can bookmark this page and check on it regularly for more quotes. The quotes on this page are geared towards helping you to take action and make choices.
