Great Quotes from Surprising Sources

Great Quotes from Surprising Sources

What makes a great quote? It seems that it has little to do with who said it and more to do with how relatable it is to people in general. Want proof? Check out these quotes and see if you can guess who might have said them. (Answers at the end)

  1. “When you take risks you learn that there will be times when you succeed and there will be times when you fail, and both are equally important.”
  2. “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”
  3. “Nothing is impossible. The word itself says, ‘I’m possible’.”
  4. “A lot of people give up just before they’re about to make it. You know you never know when that next obstacle is going to be the last one.”
  5. “You miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take.”
  6. “Never a failure, always a lesson.”
  7. “The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.”
  8. “The difference between winning and losing is most often not quitting.”
  9. “Once you choose hope, anything’s possible.”
  10. “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”

Life is a continuous journey of learning.  Quotes help us remember important advice and social media offers the chance to share our wisdom with those we love.

Quotes are great little tidbits of life lessons. They keep us thinking, laughing, questioning, striving, and sometimes even crying, but they connect us to ourselves and to each other.

We use and share quotes for many different reasons, whether it be inspiration, motivation or simply just conversation. As we found out, amazing quotes can come from unexpected sources. Have you ever said something and thought, “Hey, that would make a great quote!”?

If so, I’d love it if you click the comment button and share some of your personal wisdom with us! If you don’t think you’ve ever said anything quote-worthy, I encourage you to listen more closely, because I bet you have.

What is Author Choice?

Nimble Quotes: What is Author Choice

Love quotes, but not from “that person”? No problem. Nimble Quotes takes customization seriously. Every subscription level provides you with the option to select or omit any author from your Twitter feed.

How to use Author Choice

In this section, you’ll learn, step-by-step,  how to use Author Choice.

  1. Go to www.nimblequotes.com and sign in with Twitter.
  2. Once in your account, click “settings” at the top right of your screen. A drop-down menu will appear like so:
    Nimble Quotes Author Choice menu
  3. Click on “Authors”, a screen will show up with all authors in alphabetical order. Quickly find the ones you want to exclude by using the search field at the top right:

  4. In this example, Abraham Lincoln is unchecked. That means no quotes by Abraham Lincoln will appear in this person’s Twitter feed.

  5. Repeat as often as you like to ensure all authors you don’t want to have quotes from are unchecked.
  6. Quotes from those authors will not appear in your Twitter feed from Nimble Quotes.
  7. Update your settings at any time as often as you like.

Why Author Choice?

We had to find a name for the people who have spoken or written these quotes. We chose the term “author” even though many of the people who have famous and uplifting quotes would never call themselves an author, and perhaps they’ve never written a book.

Not-so famous quotes

We have users who prefer not to have quotes by some of the more ‘famous’ authors, opting instead for quotes from lesser known people. They simply check off the people they don’t want quotes from. As a result the quotes in their Twitter feed are from people that are not as famous or well-known as, say Oprah. For these users, it fits that they are sharing content that is not widely known. This helps them be a source of discovery for their audience.

Famous quotes

We have users who feel a little uncomfortable with quotes that are not from very famous people. Please keep in mind that it is not the subject or quote content that they feel uncomfortable with, rather it is that they do not know who the author is. Those users choose to have only quotes from authors they are familiar with.

What is Content Watch?

Nimble Quotes What is Content Watch

Think of the Content Watch feature as us having your back. Watching out for you. Making sure you look good to your audience via your Twitter stream.

To put it bluntly, people make mistakes and sometimes get themselves (fairly or unfairly) into unfavourable situations or scandals. If these people happen to be well-known, news of the situation can reach far and wide and negatively affect how people view their work.

People who are known for their famous quotes are no different. One day their quote can inspire and uplift anyone who reads it. Another day, after negative news about this person hits the media, their quotes can take on a totally different meaning and may no longer be viewed as positive.

When unfavourable news breaks about an author, and that author’s quotes are in the Nimble Quotes database, we simply suspend that quote from circulation. We make no judgement on the news. Our goal is to keep our users looking good to their audience.

We’ve worked hard to ensure the quotes in the Nimble Quotes database are vetted for quality and content. These quotes are secular without a partisan, political or religious point of view. Free of questionable, controversial or offensive material. We want our users always feeling comfortable, confident and positive about the Nimble Quotes content service. We’ve got your back. Try us out. Start your 30-day trial now.
