I love small changes which have a big impact.

Quotes can do that.

They are all over the internet, yes, and perhaps because they are everywhere and easily accessible we can often take for granted how profound they can be but some of the most famous quotes throughout history have been preserved and repeated for a reason. When understood and used in the right context, these little (or sometimes bigger) phrases can literally be life changing…

…because they make us stop and think.

They cause us to consider changing our thoughts, sometimes significantly shifting our world view.

As we all know, our thoughts shape our reality, so that moments pause is the key point. If the quote is barely considered, perhaps enjoyed, but then brushed aside

Or a favourite quote can be more like a mantra, something to live by, to use to help communication if it works well with your general outlook or philosophy or to act as a reminder, a moral compass even to guide us and realign with what we truly believe from time to time. A lot of the earlier quotes here (particularly in the top 10) are like that for me, I use them all the time.

Why 365 Quotes?

I could have chosen any number, but 365 is a good number because it happens to be the number of days we have in a year, meaning if you don’t have time to read through a long list you also have a super-quick option – just go to the quote corresponding to today’s date.

It’s the second time I’ve used this number. Not so long ago I wrote a post entitled “Websites – 365 REALLY Useful Websites You Just Gotta Check Out – I liked the idea of anyone reading this (who has little time) being able to just go to a site for the day. That post proved very popular and I do like a good quote so I’m using this idea again as I know if I was a reader of this I’d find that useful.

As quotes (unlike website names) are self-explanatory (they wouldn’t be much good as quotes if they weren’t would they?) I’m not planning to offer any explanation about the quotes for the moment (though may update the post later to add why I particularly like certain quotes).

Finally, rather than just having a flat list of random quotes, apart from my very favourites which I’d like to have in a separate list, I will categorise the quotes (Inspirational quotes, business quotes, wealth quotes etc) so in case you are looking for quotes in a particular area, you hopefully can.
