Inspirational Quotes

I collect quotes for inspiration. A lot of people do this but most people don't find their own quotes. They buy anthologies and simply open a book when they need a splash of inspiration. Not me. That is good sometimes but I gather mine from people all over, or things I overhear that I find inspirational.

So in the spirit of reviewing my old works, I've decided to add some quotes here for inspiration.

NOTE: I have done my best with giving credit to the true author. Some of these quotes are mine too.
