No doubt you've got your own favorite motivating quotes. There's so many brilliant motivating sayings to choose from. They often seem so simple and obvious, you wonder why you didn't come up with them yourself.
Like Winston Churchill's:
"When you're going through hell, keep going"
Or this one from an unknown author:
"The human brain starts working the moment you are born and never stops until you stand up to speak in public."
They often bring a smile because we relate to the message and we're delighted by an unexpected way of getting it across.
Now because they are so universally loved, why not use them as the subject of your next speech?
