Quotes students use for motivation

Alicia Gilbert

Quotes can help people with a lot of things, but one of the main things these quotes help with is motivation. Quotes summarize feelings in a couple words. Though the most common quotes are the simple and short ones, quotes can also be as long as a paragraph. All ages can read and listen to quotes and find them in many places, but for students, Pinterest is by far the place most people go for quotes. 

     Quotes can also become popular depending on the person that is saying it. For example half of the quotes are random sayings and are not connected to anyone. Others become iconic because of the person saying it or how they say it. If there is somebody very popular in the spotlight and they say something a lot of people relate to the quote can get tied to that person. Famous examples of this are: Frank Sinatra,“The best revenge is massive success”, Chris Hemsworth “The only failure is not trying”, and Taylor Swift, “It isn’t history that makes heroes, it is heroes that make history.” 

     Cheyanne Oswlad, a sophomore at Hamburg, loves quotes because “they can change the way you think right away.” Her favorite quote right now is “Everything is gonna be hard until it gets easy.” She has been through a lot in her life and realized that once she does things a couple of times it starts to get easy so it is important to put time into things that are important.
