1) Mark Twain

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

2) Luigi Pirandello

In bed my real love has always been the sleep that rescued me by allowing me to dream.

3) Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.

4) Zig Ziglar

People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily.

5) T. S. Elliot

Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.

6) Buddha

All that we are is the result of what we have thought.

7) Ralph Waldo Emerson

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

8) Peter F. Drucker

We know nothing about motivation. All we can do is write books about it.
