We are once again at the start of a workweek.
So I thought this would be a good time to share 87 of the most inspirational work quotes.
Quotes that will motivate you, help you to focus and work smarter and also reduce the stress and pressure you may feel at work (or in school).
These quotes have helped me many times to re-ignite my own motivation on a rough or bad day and to find a calmer and less stressed focus so I could keep working consistently towards my own goals and dreams.
I hope they will help you to do the same.

“Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t – you’re right.”

“Time is an equal opportunity employer. Each human being has exactly the same number of hours and minutes every day. Rich people can’t buy more hours. Scientists can’t invent new minutes. And you can’t save time to spend it on another day. Even so, time is amazingly fair and forgiving. No matter how much time you’ve wasted in the past, you still have an entire tomorrow.”
Denis Waitley
