I find myself going back to this site frequently just to have a smile cross my face and sometimes a tear run down my cheek. Thank you again, there aren't many people willing to take a risk and go against the grain."Brady --- Utah

"God bless you your web site is great!....I read at work and honestly I think I better stop reading at work because people are going to start thinking that maybe I have problems at home or something because I always finish reading them with my eyes full of tears!"

"I teach at a high school where I am also a guidance counselor and the student council advisor. Your site has been a lifesaver for me! I have started putting the teacher motivational quotes in the teacher's lounge. Student Council put copies of the poems and website address in the teacher's box for American Education Week. I have given all of my Student Council representatives the address for this website. I also have been able to share many of the inspirationals with students that I am counseling. Thanks for a wonderful resource!"

"I just finished reading, "Who I Am Makes A Big Difference" and it gave me chills. As I sit here typing this email tears are flowing freely down my face. We as parents need to remember how fragile, yet special our children are. How many of our kids think they're not loved. Even though I try to show mine I love them, I will be sure and tell them tonight. Thanks."

When I listen to the news or read the papers I sometimes feel overwhelmed by the sadness and afflictions of the world.

Thanks to all who share and keep the circle of love forever going round and round. A simple act of kindness ripples across oceans. "

Sincerely, Rebecca Douthit --- California
"I would just like to let you know how much I enjoy this site. It is so great! One day I was looking for poetry for English, and somehow I ran across your site! Just a few days ago I told my teachers and principals about it, and now everyone in the school enjoys it and looks forward to getting a little inspiration everyday."
Crista W., Age 16 --- Michigan
"Thank you for this page. When I started looking through all of the thoughts and words that are written on it I started to cry. I havealways known that I have great gifts that I will never understand, gifts that many others would kill for, but I have never used them.
The last two years of my college career had been just like every other year, mediocre and not living up to the expectations that others and myself had placed before me, until today.
The quotes that I read reached inside of me and touched me in a way that few things ever have. My father is a walking quote book, not meaning that he rattles off Shakespeare or Thoreau, but that from every thing he says, a little seed of wisdom comes out.
I thought of something that he once said to me that I hope can help someone that is maybe in the same position that I am, and can help them to understand how their confusion and frustration can help them. He said --- Sometimes it is more important to know what you don't want to do before you can know what you want to do."
Zach B., --- Ohio
"I wanted to thank you for your beautiful web site! I visit it almost daily and I apologize for never taking the time to tell you how much I appreciate it. Today my daughter is out of school sick, so I have slowed down long enough to drop you a note.
I work in an office with lots of pressure and stress. Everyday I send an office wide e-mail to my colleagues with a "thought of the day" to start their day off with a smile and a positive beginning. I look through your web site until one of the quotes jumps out at me, it's funny someone always comments to me "How did you know that's what I needed?" So, thank you for helping me helps others!"
Gini
"I came across your web site, stopped and have not left it since I found it. It is great. I really enjoy the quotes...keep up the good work! I e-mailed my son tonight in Colorado told him to get on and find it, he will love it. He likes these kind of inspirational things. Thank you for letting me be a part of your readers who enjoy good things!"
Shirley --- Michigan

"I just wanted to tell you that your site was awesome and I love it. I was looking for a motivational quote for an assignment in class and somehow I got into your site and I didn't find just one cool quote, I found about ten pages worth. Needless to say, I got an "A" on that project and I still look at your site almost every day. I always seem to see something new every time. Your stuff is so cool."

The highlight of my Monday (the day that I send out my quotes) is when I receive a response to a quote telling me how it has helped somebody at just the right time. I will continue to visit you and wish you all the best!"

"Thanks for taking the time to read my quotes and making such a great website! It really does help a lot. I printed out a bunch of them and I bring them to swim meets with me. They really help me to get focused on my race and a lot of times, during a hard and long race when I want to give up, I just think of a certain quote and it makes me keep going.

Brooke Ferguson --- Australia
"I am a primary school teacher. I try really hard to be the nicest, caring teacher I can. I would rather be remembered by my students for being a great person rather than an excellent math teacher. Every day I write a motivational quote on the board, I don't know if the students really understand their meaning, but I am sure that one day when they are older they will remember these quotes and hopefully they will inspire and change their lives. I am big fan of motivational quotes, they grab my heart and make me feel good. Anyway I really love your page and I really appreciate your good work. I really love the sayings "Pain is Temporary, but Glory is forever", and "No person is a failure, if a person has friends" (Its a Wonderful life).Inspire while you are here."
God Bless
Mark --- Australia

" I've visited your page HELPING THROUGH THE GRIEF for the first time two days ago. Since then I have returned there every night...looking through the stories and quotes sent in by so many people. It is amazing the comfort I find in the words of other people trying to cope with a lost loved one...
I've been crying constantly for two days now. I cry for my own grief and the grief of other people. I'm from South Africa but we moved to Colorado, 3 months ago. I left so many things behind...My dog, my horse, my friends, family.
But I guess the things I miss the most is the things that can never be replaced. I miss my grannies and grandpa. They've all passed away. I miss 2 friends who have died in car accidents...I miss another friend who killed himself 4 months ago.
My boyfriend's brother was killed in a car accident. Tomorrow it will be exactly a year ago he died...Like I've said I've been crying these last 2 days...I feel the pain of my boyfriend and my own pain...sometimes it feels too much...What is the worst is to see the pain in his eyes. When he talks about his brother (17) he always smiles so fondly and then when he talks about the accident his smile's replaced my a sad frown and pain in his eyes...he has his brother's eyes and smile :)
Life is hard yes...but it is pages like yours that show us the silver lining of the clouds. Thanks so much for all the inspirational and motivating pages !!"
Mariaan E., Age 17 --- Colorado
"Your site is the best. Always makes me want to hop up and run like Forrest Gump. Run and run and run.....Thanks, Great Help."

"Just a quick note to let you know that your hard work is appreciated. I am a mother of four, trying to keep a Christian family together in anincreasingly Godless world. I have been finding it more difficult now that the boys are teenagers. I will share the quotes and stories found here with my family and workmates."
Thank you and go with God,

Alisha Sarabjeeth --- South Africa
"I am a frequent visitor of your motivational site. I have long been wondering what I can contribute to a world of teens seeking inspirations so I am sending you a quote that really helped me. Here's a little background:
After being in a relationship for a little more than a month, I had found myself head over heels for the other. One day at the end of a phone conversation, I was getting ready to hang up, and he goes, "I havethree words for you" My heart jumped! And as I listened, they were not the three words I had longed to hear, but maybe three words I needed to hear even more. "Love is patient." I promise that through any relationship, or trying time with another, these three words will help you through.
Please, continue the great work on the motivational site. Your attitude about teens (teens are terrific) is a rare one, and needs to be passed on."
Chyla D., Age 15 --- Wisconsin

"Dearest Marlene,
The whole 'feel' of this place is uplifting! As I came across one golden nugget after another, I kept thinking of different people I know who would benefit greatly from the wise words on this site and I can't wait to send them your URL. You are an inspiration to the soul, an incredible balm to the heart, and a soft caress to the worried mind!
After spending a great deal of time being inspired and uplifted by your incredible web site, I am proud to present the WiseHearts Wisdom Award to Motivating Moments. I created this award some time ago, but to date, have never given it out. I started to think I had set the standard too high, but I was wrong. By actively advocating participation from your visitors, you have drawn wisdom from the four corners of the earth, and you showcase it brilliantly. Bravo!"
