Results from Laura Moncur's Motivational Quotations:

The fact is, the old clich%uFFFDs work for us in abstract terms, but they never work out in real life quite the same way. Life is messy; clich%uFFFDs are clean and tidy.: Hugh Macleod, How To Be Creative: 29, 08-22-04
Public opinion is a weak tyrant compared with our own private opinion. What a man thinks of himself, that is which determines, or rather indicates, his fate.: Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)
Really listening and suspending one's own judgment is necessary in order to understand other people on their own terms... This is a process that requires trust and builds trust.: Mary Field Belenky, Women's Ways of Knowing: The Development of Self, Voice, and Mind, p. 187
An idealist believes the short run doesn't count. A cynic believes the long run doesn't matter. A realist believes that what is done or left undone in the short run determines the long run.: Sydney J. Harris
Never underestimate the determination of a kid who is time rich and cash poor.: Cory Doctorow, Little Brother, 2008
Technical term is narcissism. You can't believe everything is your fault unless you also believe you're all powerful.: Matt Witten, House M.D., Humpty Dumpty, 2005
There's new energy to harness, new jobs to be created, new schools to build, and threats to meet, alliances to repair. The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term. But, America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you, we as a people will get there. There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president. And we know the government can't solve every problem. But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And, above all, I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation, the only way it's been done in America for 221 years — block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.: Barack Obama (1961 - ), Election Night Speech in Chicago, 11-04-08
The elevation of appearance over substance, of celebrity over character, of short term gains over lasting achievement displays a poverty of ambition. It distracts you from what's truly important.: Barack Obama (1961 - ), Arizona State Commencement Speech, 2009
That is the American story. People, just like you, following their passions, determined to meet the times on their own terms. They weren't doing it for the money. Their titles weren't fancy. But they changed the course of history and so can you.: Barack Obama (1961 - ), Arizona State Commencement Speech, 2009

We change who we are to fit the exogenous of our time, and not just strategically or to our own advantage, sometimes sympathetically without our even knowing it for the betterment of the whole group.: Meryl Streep (1949 - ), Barnard Commencement Speech, 2010
