Motivational Quotations

Need a little encouragement? Beginning to feel like you're the only person who's ever felt the way you're feeling? Although many of the other Quotable Quotes found in Life and Love and Music and the Arts are inspirational, here are some that I've gathered specifically for this section of the website.
