12 Quotes for Days When You Need Some Extra Inspiration

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Oneonta chapter.

As the end of the semester and finals week approach, it can feel as though you’re running out of energy and inspiration to get even the simplest tasks done. Sometimes, as silly as it may seem, an inspirational quote or two can help you get through it. So here are a few of my favorites:

1. “A girl should be two things-who and what she wants.”- Coco Chanel

2. “She turned her can’ts in cans and her dreams into plans.”- Kobi Yamada

3. “There are far better things in front of us than anything we leave behind.”- C.S. Lewis

4. “She believed she could, so she did”- R.S. Grey

5. “For what it’s worth: it’s never too late to be whoever you want to be. I hope you live a life you’re proud of, and if you find you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.”- F. Scott Fitzgerald

6. “Find out who you are and do it on purpose.”- Dolly Parton

7. “She was unstoppable not because she did not have failures or doubts, but because she continued on despite them.”- Beau Taplin

8. “One day she finally grasped that unexpected things were always going to happen in life. And with that she realized the only control she had was how she chose to handle them so she made the decision to survive using courage, humor, and grace. She was the queen of her own life and the choice was hers.”- Kathy Kinney

9. “She knew the power of her mind and so programmed it for success.”- Carrie Green

10. “So many things are possible just as long as you don’t know they’re impossible”- Norton Juster

11. “She had a way with words, red lipstick, and making an entrance.” –Kate Spade

12. “Never doubt that you are valuable and powerful and deserving of every chance and opportunity to pursue and achieve your own dreams.” –Hilary Clinton
