We all need some motivation during finals week! These are some of my personal favorites:

1. "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined." - Henry David Thoreau
2. "It’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years." - Abraham Lincoln
3. “I know in my heart that man is good. That what is right will eventually triumph. And there is purpose and worth to each and every life.” - Ronald Reagan
4. “If we are together nothing is impossible. If we are divided all will fail.” - Winston Churchill
5. “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” - Steve Jobs
6. "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do, so throw off the bowlines, sail away from safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream, Discover." –Mark Twain
7. “As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” - John F. Kennedy
8. “The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.” - Aristotle
9. “Education is the most powerful weapon, which you can use to change the world.” - Nelson Mandela
10. “Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact.” - William James
