Quotes of the Week #1 - Aug Edition 2008

I'll be posting some of my favourite quotes beginning with this post. I hope to post up to 100+ quotes by year's end. I like motivational quotes because they can be uplifting and can make one question oneself intellectually, emotionally and even spiritually. They are positive words and encourage one to strive for the best in oneself.
