Quotes are so important to live by because they provide us with that little bit of motivation that we may need on any given day. At this particular age in our lives as adolescents, we are growing more than we think. Not being aware of where we are going or our purpose in life, we can have the tendency to get lost or lose our motivation. This is why I love reading quotes. Beginning with the start of my freshman year in college, my dad would email an inspirational quote to my family every single day. Now in my sophomore year, he continues to do just that. I have learned something valuable out of each and every quote. These ten quotes are significant ones that resonate with me as a college student:

1. “Spend a little more time trying to make something of yourself and a little less time trying to impress people…” - The Breakfast Club

2. “Limitations live only in our minds. But if we use our imaginations, our possibilities become limitless.” -Jamie Paolinetti

3. “The power of can’t: The word ‘can’t’ makes strong people weak, blinds people who can see, saddens happy people, turns brave people into cowards, robs a genius of their brilliance, causes rich people to think poorly, and limits the achievements of that great person living inside us all.” – Robert T. Kiyosaki

4. I think growing up is difficult and it's a process that I'm always interested in, with kids and adults, they are often on two different universes. Alice Hoffman

5. “Stop trying to be less of who you are. Let this time in your life cut you open and drain all of the things that are holding you back.” -Jennifer Elisabeth

6. "It is not the strongest or the most intelligent who will survive but those who can best manage change." -Charles Darwin

7. "Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved." -Helen Keller

8. "That which does not kill us makes us stronger." -Friedrich Nietzsche

9. "Life belongs to the living, and he who lives must be prepared for changes" -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

10. "In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on." -Robert Frost
