Inspirational Quotations --
Which One is YOUR Favorite?

And now...

Ladies and Gentlemen...

My favorite inspirational quote, is...

Hmm, with so many inspirational quotes out there, it's difficult to pick a favorite, isn't it?

But that's what this quotes page - filled with happiness quotes, motivation quotes, success quotes and even some famous inspirational quotes - is all about!

I've picked my favourite quotation - from thousands of quotes, literally, and tens of quotations websites (tch, why so many! ;-)) - and I'd like you to do the same.

View the quotes on this and other pages on Self Help Collective, and let us know what your favorite quote is!

Oh, and tell us the reason why, too! Please.

Think of it as an antidote to the problems of the world - the Credit Crunch, Global Warming, The Rise of Teenage Hoodies!... - or think of it as a bit of fun, but do play the favorite inspirational quotes game!...

For those of you having trouble coming up with a favourite quote, please take a look at this long-list of my fave inspirational quotations, for inspiration. Then do let me know (with reasons why) what your favorite quote is. Deal?

Yes, absolutely. And Mark should also have said, 'keep away from people who take their inspirational quotes too seriously!' :-) I like my quotes, as you will see, but think it's okay to have a bit of fun, too... (But only after you've played the favorite quotation game, of course!)

"Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you will help them become what they are capable of becoming."

-- Daisy Bates

And what about the woman who never makes a mistake. Which man does she take orders from? Ho ho. (Just kidding...!) I'm not kidding about this - share your fave quote here!
