The Your Part Matters Quote Database

Welcome! Entries are mostly listed in the order in which I posted them. Because the database is updated almost daily, there’s a nice hodge-podge of topics and authors on every page. If you just want to see the latest bits of wisdom, simply bookmark this page and come back every so often.

If you want more order than that, you have lots of options:

  • Author. Use the last name index on the right-hand side of this page to find who you want. For some authors, you will find you get several pieces of wisdom. Same last names will return multiple authors (Eleanor Roosevelt and Franklin D. Roosevelt, for example).
  • Topic. Use the topic index on the left-hand side to navigate. Many topic searches will result in quotes from several authors. 
  • Search. The entire database is searchable. The search box on this page will search only the quotation database; if you want to search the entire site, use the search box on the main blog pages. The quotes you’ve searched for will appear directly under this introduction.

Self Reliance.
I will gladly listen to the advice of older and wiser people; I will reverence the wishes of those who love and care for me; but I will learn to think for myself. I will not be afraid of being laughed at. I will not be afraid of doing right when the crowd does wrong.

~ William J. Hutchins, The National Institution of Moral Instructions, 1913
