Motivational Quotes of the Day

[Today's Quotes] [Archive Index]

Selected from Laura Moncur's Motivational Quotations - October 28, 2025

A problem is a chance for you to do your best.: Duke Ellington (1899 - 1974)
A love of tradition has never weakened a nation, indeed it has strengthened nations in their hour of peril; but the new view must come, the world must roll forward.: Sir Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965), speech in the House of Commons, November 29, 1944
The freethinking of one age is the common sense of the next.: Matthew Arnold (1822 - 1888), 'God and the Bible,' 1875
Call home at least once a week. It's a proven fact that we call home less the older we get. And that's wrong. It should be the other way around. As we get older, our parents get older.: Randy Pausch, Carnegie Mellon Commencement Speech, 2008
