I have often found that the right quote at the right time can inspire people to change their ways.  I hope you enjoy and will make use of some of the quotes below.

“You can fail at what you don’t want. So you might as well take a chance on doing what you love.” – Jim Carrey

“people often tell me that motivation doesn’t last, and I tell them that bathing doesn’t either.  That’s why I recommend it daily.” – Zig Ziglar

“you can have anything you want in life, all you need to do is help enough people get what they want” – Zig Ziglar
