Motivation Quotations

Seagull
Just keeping on living and looking for food may be wise deep down in its way.

Motivations to live come from within. They may be awakened and nourished too, until lots of women want to ride on bikes, for example (see below). But outer motivations are often part of a play where adaptations may get the better of you after a little. Hence, take care what seeds are sown in fertile and inexperienced minds. And better plant the choice seeds of motivation deep - that is, on the TA Child level -, so that they may strike root all right. For further understanding of motivation, sound textbook study should be fit.

Here are 40 quotations about motivation. Those with no named author added, can be credited T. Kinnes.
