Famous Quotations

I find it educational and entertaining to read famous quotations by authors, business leaders, politicians, and others of influence in our society. I enjoy reading a pithy statement that makes me stop and consider the different meanings and layered concepts that can lurk behind a simple statement.

Not all quotes are thought provoking, so I tend to read through many quotes by famous people and only select a handful for inclusion on this site.

To be included, each quote should relate to success, failure, perseverance, inspiration, motivation, ways to improve your life, attracting prosperity, abundance, or a related topic.

Many times, over the past few decades, I've read an intriguing quotation and then took the time to learn more about that person. I've discovered many great books that have expanded my horizons and enriched my perception of the world and the people who live here. Perhaps you'll be attracted to some of the famous quotations and the works from which they derive.
