That's something about motivational quotes. They motivate me but I try not to be irrational about them. I guess that's the only way they work. However, the world without them is a bit boring. Sometimes we need them because we are not merely logical beings. Sometimes you need something to pomp you up. But maybe to consider them literally or to take them as plain truth is not because they do not have any function rather because some people lack critical thinking. So I try to take what they offer but I'm in no way thinking they are full of wisdom. At the end, just a thought popped up. Maybe we should go to some classical novels or ancient Greek philosophy for some motivation. They have more thoughtful words. Maybe one should rethink GetMotivated.

Objective research of psychology of motivational quotes and their influences on people would be a nice research subject.
