I love motivational quotes. They really do it for me, if you know what I mean. For the last 25 years I have been a big fan of Zig Zigler, Norman Vincent Peale and legendary Basketball coach, John Wooden.  Here are some of my favorite from the three of them along with a few others.  If you have a favourite quote that really moves you, I would love for you to share it with us all.
