Before I list the quotes, I just want to confirm the difference between a motivational quote and an inspirational quote - as I see it. Or maybe a better way of putting it is the difference between motivation and inspiration.

Motivation comes from inside, whereas inspiration can come from outside - maybe something we read or hear. So I use the term 'motivational quotes' to mean words that throw some light on our internal desire or energy.

When seeking to achieve goals, we need to find our own internal motivation. On the other hand, we can listen to other people, or read their books, to experience their inspiring words.
