Be motivated by these inspiring quotations filled with words of wisdom to start your day on a positive note! These phrases truly reflect the wisdom of the ages! Many were said many years ago but their meaning still holds true today. For example, William James (1842 - 1910), said: "The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind."Quotations can be defined many different ways. We like the following defintion: "Quotes are gems, messages, thoughts, phrases, and sayings of wit, words, and knowledge from the writings and utterances that have been articulated by some of the world's great thinkers, authors, poets, and leaders."
William Feather once said, "The wisdom of the wise and the experience of the ages is preserved into perpetuity by a nation's proverbs, fables, folk sayings and quotations."
