Quotes That Inspire and Motivate Us

Richard 002

Those of you who have already visited the New Era website ( www.newerafi.co.uk ) will probably have found out that I’m a fan of the occasional quote or two from those wiser than me.

I’ve collected over 140 over the past few years and they get posted randomly on the site by a clever plugin or widget ingeniously designed by the folks at WordPress.

Here are 20 of my favourites:

  1. The secret of success is to do the common things uncommonly well – John D. Rockefeller

  5. The mind is like a parachute – it works best when it is open – David Molden and Pat Hutchinson

  15. When you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect – Mark Twain
