If you’re anything like us, you’ve no doubt found yourself in this familiar scenario: Talking with friends or in a teaching moment with your kids, you pull out a famous quote like a boss and are immediately asked, “Wait, who said that?” And you draw a blank, because, for the life of you, you can't remember! You’ve heard and used it so often and yet, you don’t actually know who originally said it. Well, be in doubt no further, friends. We’ve compiled a list of the best quotes of all time from some of the best and the brightest folks from culture, politics, spirituality, and sports of the past and present. (You should also check out our list of Mr. Roger’s Quotes, because there are too many gems from our favorite neighbor to just single out just one for this list.) If you're thinking of something to write in a greeting card, impress your friends with a birthday quote, thankful quotes, or sympathy quote. Or just read the quotes and be inspired! Let folks like Oprah, Eleanor Roosevelt, Wayne Gretzky, and Walt Disney move you to deeper compassion, embolden you to share your creativity, and motivate you to impact the world for good.

"The battles that count aren't the ones for gold medals. The struggles within yourself—the invisible battles inside all of us—that's where it's at."
You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow. In every day, there are 1,440 minutes. That means we have 1,440 daily opportunities to make a positive impact.
Examples of positive words include “love,” “hope,” “joy,” “gratitude,” “kindness,” “optimism,” “success,” “inspiration,” “confidence,” “harmony,” “laughter,” “appreciation,” and many others. These words are often used to encourage, support, or uplift someone's mood, thoughts, or attitudes.
“If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”― Martin Luther King, Jr.
Every day is a new opportunity. You can build on yesterday's success or put its failures behind and start over again. That's the way life is, with a new game every day, and that's the way baseball is. Every day is a new day, and you'll never be able to find happiness if you don't move on.
Life is not always perfect.Like a road, it has many bends, ups and down, but that's its beauty. I marveled at the beauty of all life and savored the power and possibilities of my imagination.
