Finding words of wisdom to motivate you into changing an aspect of your life can be very difficult: friends will sugar coat their advice, the paid professionals won’t spare your feelings, and the whole experience can leave you feeling a bit unwanted and really uninspired. flicking through the results of a search online about “how to get inspired”, found me a couple of little sites with some really poignant quotes from some great writes across the ages.

I love how individual words and interpretations have changed so much over time, but the route meaning of expressions has stood the test of time. My favorite quote, so far is from Oliver Goldsmith, and he says:

People seldom improve when they have no other model but themselves to copy.

Without a firm guideline to follow, we tend to get lost.
