What is it about **motivational quotes** that make them so endearing? Every driven person eventually figures out that there's a whole lot of feel-good time wasters out there that suck us because they feel like work, and browsing endless lists of motivational phrases are no exception. And yet, there's hidden value in finding a concise expression that perfectly distills our own beliefs. Here are my TOP-5 **motivational quotes** of all time:

> 1.  “We cannot solve problems with the kind of thinking we employed when we came up with them.” — Albert Einstein
>     
> 2.  “Learn as if you will live forever, live like you will die tomorrow.” — Mahatma Gandhi
>     
> 3.  “Stay away from those people who try to disparage your ambitions. Small minds will always do that, but great minds will give you a feeling that you can become great too.” — Mark Twain
>     
> 4.  “When you give joy to other people, you get more joy in return. You should give a good thought to happiness that you can give out.”— Eleanor Roosevelt
>     
> 5.  “When you change your thoughts, remember to also change your world.”—Norman Vincent Peale
