Motivational Quotes Can Pick You Up When You Are Feeling Down!

I like to read through them when I just want to relax for a while.

Motivational QuotesAs I come across some quotes that I think you may like I will add them to this page.

The majority of the quotes that are on here now I have been collecting for years.

Make new happiness abourt the things that drag you down; Know that doing those things Can & Will Make You Happy. JUST GET UP & DO THEM!!!

Hi Duc,

What a fascinating story that had to be quite a surprise to find out that your Great Great Grand Father was the author of one of your favorite books. Talent must run in the family : )

I will definitely look up your book in Amazon.
Great to have to here!
Sincerely,
Howard

Hi, my name is Duc.
I have to tell you that it is such a wonderful surprise to stumble upon someone with your devout interest for philosophy and its study of humanities through expressive words of inspiration. It matters very much to me to discover that you care about the spiritual and mental aspects of our decaying society. It so happen that I am the author of a book of original modern quotes and adages titled “Old Echoes of a New Voice.” It had taken me about 27 years to complete. I now am presently in the process of finishing 3 books. I was always facinated by old poets of centuries ago, and never knew until I was in my twenties that one of my favorite writers was in fact my great great grand father, Alexander Dumas. The book itself is doing very well at police stations, fire stations, hopitals and military bases. It is as well in Europe, the Vatican, Buckingham Palace and here at the White house to name a few. Two years ego, Liz Smith of the New York Post and Wow Magazines used one of the quotes for a Christmas article about greed and multy-billionaires at the French Riviera. The quote was “Indecision is not necessarily a sign of confusion, rather that of a mind which believes in more options than those present.” If you have a chance, check out the reviews on Amazon.com, after which, if you are interested, I would be more than delighted to send you a copy.
Regardless of your decision, I would like to thank you for what you are doing.
Best of luck and may you and your loved ones be all blessed.
Sincerely, Duc

Thank you Jeron! I am glad to hear that you found the articles to be motivational and thank you for bookmarking my site. I try to keep it updated as much as possible but with all my doctor appointments and my down times from my treatments I don’t get the chance to write as much as I would like to. Thank you for visiting and I hope to hear from you often.
