Inspiration. Motivation. Perspiration.
Most pages of this site feature a random action quote appearing on the right side of the page. But if you really need an extended kick-in-the-butt, you can spend some time here going through all of the quotes in one location. I visit this section frequently, so don't feel like you're the only one needing inspiration from time to time.
Check back often as I'm adding new ones regularly. The page below displays quotes in the order I've added them. Enjoy.
