Homework Quotes

Standart top banner.

Nothing is more powerful for your future than being a gatherer of good ideas and information. That's called doing your homework.

A genius is a talented person who does his homework.

Homework strongly indicates that the teachers are not doing their jobs well enough during the school day. It's not like they'll let you bring your home stuff to school and work on it there. You can't say, 'I didn't finish sleeping at home, so I have to work on finishing my sleep here.

Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. As a result, a genius is often a talented person who has simply done all of his homework.

Homework is a term that means grown up imposed yet self-afflicting torture.

Persistence is important in every endeavor. Whether it's finishing your homework, completing school, working late to finish a project, or "finishing the drill" in sports, winners persist to the point of sacrifice in order to achieve their goals.

I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework.

Homework, I have discovered, involves a sharp pencil and thick books and long sighs.

You will never get anywhere if you do not do your homework.

We're doing our homework to make sure we're prepared.

Do your homework or hire wise experts to help you. Never jump into a business you have no idea about.

When was the last time you used the words 'teach me'? Maybe not since you started first grade? Here's an irony about school: The daily grind of tests, homework, and pressures sometimes blunts rather than stimulates a thirst for knowledge.

The more you do your homework, the more you're free to be intuitive. But you've got to put the work in.

College is about three things: homework, fun, and sleep...but you can only choose two.

The best schools tend to have the best teachers, not to mention parents who supervise homework, so there is less need for self-organised learning. But where a child comes from a less supportive home environment, where there are family tensions perhaps, their schoolwork can suffer. They need to be taught to think and study for themselves.

One of life's most painful moments comes when we must admit that we didn't do our homework, that we are not prepared.

To overcome stress you have to find out something. You've got to do some research and homework. You need to find out who you are today.

My life is a black hole of boredom and despair." "So basically you've been doing homework." "Like I said, black hole.

Do your homework, study the craft, believe in yourself, and out-work everyone.

Do as much homework as you can. Learn everybody's job and don't just settle.

If you want to be lucky, do your homework.

I'm learning skills I will use for the rest of my life by doing homework...procrastinating and negotiation.

You have got to pay attention, you have got to study and you have to do your homework. You have to score higher than everybody else. Otherwise, there is always somebody there waiting to take your place.

You don’t get rich off your day job, you get rich off your homework.

Starting is the hardest part. Set a timer for 60 minutes and see how you feel when the timer goes off. Chances are you’ll want to keep going.

“Studying for 1 hour is less than 5% of your day. You can make it through 60 minutes.” – Alexandra Markin, founder of Online Student Life

The only way to get ahead in life is by getting started, no matter how small your steps are in the beginning.

If you’re looking for small, actionable steps to help you get started, read the post How to Study When You Don’t Feel Like It .

“The secret of getting ahead is getting started.” – Mark Twain, American Writer

They say there’s no time like the present. Don’t waste it!

“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” – Maria Robinson, American politician

Everyday you have a choice: work hard for the life you want, or stay exactly where you are.

“Studying is hard. Not having the life you want is hard. Choose your hard.” – Alexandra Markin, founder of Online Student Life

It’s easy to take a day or two off from studying. Work towards studying daily even if it’s something small like reviewing flashcards, reading the chapter summary or doing one problem.

“Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.” – Robert Collier, American author

Don’t procrastinate. When you make studying a part of your morning routine, your progress will flourish.

“You will find the key to success under the alarm clock.” – Benjamin Franklin, Founding Father of the United States

A reminder that ambition does not achieve goals; it’s the work you must put in to get there.

“Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson, writer, poet and thinker

It’s the series of small steps that lead to success, however small. You can’t harvest without first planting the garden.

Theses quotes will encourage you to rise above your comfort zone and embrace the fact that success is only achieved through hard work and dedication. Stay motivated to study with the powerful quotes in this section.

If you can keep studying through tough times and hard subjects, you’ll be miles ahead of your peers. The best opportunities present themselves when uncovered behind the invisible wall of hard work.

“Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don’t recognize them.” – Ann Landers, American columnist of Ask Ann Landers

Wishing won’t work without with a plan of working hard.

“You don’t get what you wish for. You get what you work for.” – Daniel Milstein, Ukrainian entrepreneur

If you’re struggling with your subject of study and feel you’re just not smart enough to become a doctor, lawyer, entrepreneur or literally anything else, don’t give up!

Read the book Talent is Overrated by Geoff Colvin. You’ll be surprised at the one (fairly easy) thing successful people do that makes them who they are. (Hint – they weren’t born with it).

“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.” – Tim Notke, professor

Becuase the whole point of studying hard is so you can have nice things, correct?

“A lot of hard work is hidden behind nice things.” – Ralph Lauren, American fashion designer

Commit to your success by showing up for your studies. Every. Single. Day.

“Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don’t turn up at all.” – Sam Ewing, musical composer

There are no shortcuts to success. You have to put in the time.

“Skill is only developed by hours and hours of work.” – Usain Bolt, Jamaican runner

Dream hard, work harder.

“Some people dream of success, while others wake up and work hard at it.” – Napoleon Hill, author of Think And Grow Rich

College is hard, and online college can be even harder without learning how to master self-discipline , especially if you’re working on a self-directed schedule. It’s the difference between success and failure, so push through when motivation wanes.

“You won’t always be motivated, so you must learn to be disciplined.” – Alexandra Markin, founder of Online Student Life

Studying is not glamorous. Romanticize it all you want, but college is full of late nights and long hours. Only those who tenaciously climb the academic mountain will be heavily rewarded.

“Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.” – Thomas Edison, American inventor

As you’ll find on your education journey, inspiration is fleeting. Don’t overthink it: clear your desk, open your books and just start.

“Amateurs sit and wait for inspiration, the rest of us just get up and go to work.” – Stephen King, American author

When you encounter challenging subjects or the temptation to procrastinate, these quotes serve as a powerful reminder of our goals and the importance of consistent effort.

You worked hard to get into university – don’t let procrastination take over.

“If you have goals and procrastination, you have nothing. If you have goals and you take action, you will have anything you want.” – Thomas J. Vilord, author

Face challenging subjects head on. Whether it’s math, coding or biology, embrace the fact that these difficult classes are what makes us stronger.

I found math courses the most difficult. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, I focused on taking detailed math notes from the textbook, took my time with the course, and did as many practice problems as possible. By the end of the course, I felt my self-confidence in math had much improved.

“Get comfortable with being uncomfortable.” – Jillian Michaels, American personal trainer and businesswoman

You can productively use your desk chair for one of two things – studying or Netflix. I can tell you from experience that the latter won’t buy you what your dreams desire.

“The Lord gave us two ends – one to sit on and the other to think with. Success depends on which one we use the most.” – Ann Landers, American columnist, “Ask Ann Landers”

kKnowledge is the foundation, but action is the catalyst for change and progress. Without action, knowledge remains only untapped potential.

“Knowledge + action = the life of your dreams. Keep pushing.” – Alexandra Markin, founder of Online Student Life

It’s not the end degree goal that deters most students; its enduring the daily study sessions for the weeks that turn into months, and the months that turn into years.

Keep yourself motivated by tracking your sessions. There’s something satisfying about tracking your study hours and looking back at a completed monthly page showing your progress.

“It isn’t the mountains ahead that wear you down. It’s the pebble in your shoe.” – Muhammad Ali, American professional boxer

When you go too long in between study sessions, you tend to forget things you’ve learned. This only compounds in courses where you have 30 weeks to finish. Don’t re-learn concepts; keep on a consistent study path and put what you learn to use on a daily basis.

“Only knowledge that is used sticks in your mind.” – Dale Carnegie, author of How To Win Friends and Influence People

There are some fantastic Instagram studygram accounts out there. But apart from the pretty desks, fancy stationary and inspirational day-in-the-life videos, you have to change your inspired mind into plausible action.

“This is your sign to stop scrolling social media, get out your books, and study. At some point inspiration must change into action.” – Alexandra Markin, founder of Online Student Life

There is no way to shortcut learning concepts or doing a math problem over and over again until you get it right. Success takes time and effort.

“There is no elevator to success, you have to take the stairs.” – Zig Ziglar, American author

Building good study habits is what allows you to keep going on days when motivation is low.

“Motivation is what sets you in motion, habit is what keeps you going.” – Jim Ryun, Former US Representative

The planning process can be so enjoyable for a lot of us: setting up a new bullet journal habit tracker or a new Notion page, but more important than that is execution. Your pretty plan is there to serve a purpose – bettering yourself.

Like the setup in the photo below? Go to the post Essential Bullet Journal Spreads for Online Students for the details on how to create it!

“Plan your work and work your plan.” – Napoleon Hill, author of Think And Grow Rich

Everyone experiences failure, even the straight A students. It should not be seen as something negative, rather as a valuable learning experience. I learned more from my low test scores and math problems I got wrong than I did from easily acing a concept or course.

Embrace the failures; they are there to serve you.

Rise up after every failure.

“Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Don’t view failure as the end; view it as finding another way to reach your goal.

“Failure is a detour, not a dead-end street.” – Zig Ziglar, American author

It can be hard to bounce back from failing an exam or not getting accepted into your college of choice, but know there is always another option out there, and that’s something to be enthusiastic about.

“Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.” – Winston Churchill, former British Prime Minister

There are more ways that won’t work than those that will, so keep going until you have found a solution.

“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” – Thomas Edison, American inventor

This is one of my favourite quotes I found years ago on none other that Pinterest. I like to repeat this to myself every time I look in the mirror when I feel times are tough.

“Mirror mirror on the wall, I’ll always get up after I fall. And whether I run, walk or have to crawl, I’ll set my goals and achieve them all.” – Unknown

Even if you’re not sure your major is exactly the right choice for you, it would be worse to have never tried.

“It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.” – Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States

You never know what’s just around the corner: an offer of an internship, your dream job or an opportunity you didn’t expect that will change your life – hang in there!

“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” – Thomas Edison, American inventor

It’s inevitable that you will fail. It happens to everyone, even the best students. But you can minimize the times you do fail by always being prepared.

“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.” – Benjamin Franklin, Founding Father of the United States

Failures aren’t really failures, they’re lessons. The only time you actually fail is when you give up.

“The only failure is quitting. Everything else is just gathering information.” – Jen Sincero, author of You Are A Badass

Failure doesn’t always have to be dire, like failing a class. It can be missing a few percentages away from an A, having your project turn out differently than you planned or having to miss a study session with your best friend.

Whether you realize it or not, these small things are all failures you’re overcoming, learning from, and getting stronger because of.

“Fall seven times, stand up eight.” – Japanese Proverb

Embarking on a journey of higher education is a noble pursuit, and it’s completely normal for doubts and fears to cloud our path forward.

These quotes will help you overcome any fear you may have!

If you have a good job but know you can do better, but you have to leave that job to go back to school, do it. You have to leave your comfort zone to be able to achieve greater things.

“Do not be afraid to give up the good to go for the great.” – John Rockefeller, American business magnate

Moving across the country or even to another continent to attend your dream college can be scary, but often it’s really only the fear of the unknown that scares you.

“Everything you’ve ever wanted is on the other side of fear.” – George Addair, real-estate developer

Sitting around worrying about your studies while you procrastinate watching Netflix or scrolling TikTok isn’t going to make anything better. Getting up and doing something about it is the only fix.

“Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy. “ – Dale Carnegie, American author

The whole reason you’re going to college is to learn new things. Welcome the challenge! Anytime you go beyond what you know you are certain to fail, but without failure there is no growth.

“Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson, writer, poet and thinker

You are your own person, having unique talents to share with the world. Use others only as inspiration, and never try to imitate them.

“Every man has his own courage, and is betrayed because he seeks in himself the courage of other persons.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson, writer, poet and thinker

Don’t worry – your fear will only last until you’ve started doing the thing. Once you’ve got the hang of it, all perception of fear will dissipate.

If you feel you struggle with this, read Susan’s book Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway , with techniques for turning fear, indecision, and anger into power, action, and love.

“Feel the fear and do it anyway.” – Susan Jeffers, author

Emerson has some great quotes, especially on fear and doubt. You can practice facing your fear head on everyday: starting to tackle that concept you know nothing about, learning how to use Notion or sending that email to your professor to ask for help.

These may seem insignificant, but fears are not just for life’s bigger issues.

“He who is not everyday conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson, writer, poet and thinker

Which definition of fear will you choose today?

“F-E-A-R has two meanings: ‘Forget Everything And Run’ or ‘Face Everything And Rise.’ The choice is yours.” – Zig Ziglar, American author

It takes courage to overcome your fears. Sometimes, you just need to try again tomorrow. Give yourself grace.

“Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying “I will try again tomorrow.'” – Mary Anne Radmacher, author

Don’t compare yourself to someone else’s middle. We all experience fear as we embark our next journeys.

“Even the greatest were beginners. Don’t be afraid to take that first step.” – Muhammad Ali, American professional boxer

Now that you’ve been inspired by this post and have saved some of these to your Pinterest board, it’s time to sit down and study.

You have to power to do anything you set your mind to; don’t underestimate yourself.

FAQ: How do I motivate myself to study when it feels hard?

Set small goals.

Instead of overwhelming yourself with a huge task, break it down into smaller, manageable goals. When you accomplish each little goal, it feels like a victory, and that can boost your motivation.

Find your study style

Discover what works best for you . Some people concentrate better in complete silence, while others need some background music. Experiment and see what helps you focus.

Create a study schedule

Having a routine can make studying a habit. Set aside specific times for studying each day and stick to it as much as possible.

Use visual aids

Colorful notes, mind maps, or flashcards can make studying more engaging and visually appealing. They can help you remember information better.

Take breaks

On a scale from 1 to 10, how much will you rate the difficulty of life as a student? It’s a solid 10 for me, even harder than working at a corporate job.

Now you have a bunch of study quotes to go to when you need motivation. And here are some tips that may be helpful as well.

• Honor your feelings

The lack of motivation, boredom, and anxiety can all be signs of burnout. And when you have no fuel in the tank, it’s impossible to fire up the engine. So instead of criticizing your reluctance to study, write down how you feel.

It may also help to track your prime time and downtime. Maybe you are a morning person who performs the best in the early hours. Or perhaps you are the opposite. Schedule your study accordingly and do the most challenging tasks in your prime time.

• Schedule breaks

You are not tired for no reason, especially when it’s chronic. Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is to take a break. So don’t forget to arrange break time in between your day.

The Pomodoro method may be a good place to start. Study for 25 minutes, take a 5-minute break and repeat. Use a timer, so you don’t need to check the time.

• Find a study buddy

If you have a group of friends or a classmate to study with, it’s easier to keep yourself accountable.

• Write down your goal

What are your goals? Goals can be the best motivator. So take a piece of paper and write down your goals. Don’t forget to include both short-term and long-term goals.

Short-term goals can be finishing your paper by next Tuesday or getting an A at finals. Long-term goals may be getting into your ideal college. Include both so you have something to keep you excited for now and in the long run.

Motivational Quotes to Study

Motivation to Learn

Sometimes college is overwhelming. Your exams, essays, thesis, and due dates can turn into a heavy workload weighing you down. In these moments, you might ask yourself why you’re doing this to yourself, but don’t forget that you get to study a subject that you’re passionate about. When you enrolled, there was this hunger for learning inside you and all you have to do is find that motivation again.

Use the following quotes to rediscover your love for learning:

Education Prepares You for the Future

“Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.”

– Malcolm X

What you learn in college today prepares you for making your own way on the job market in the future. You won’t be able to use everything you learned but you’ll have a great foundation to build on. And don’t underestimate the power of learning soft skills like teamwork, time management, and critical thinking as you work your way through group projects and deadlines.

Be Patient and Take Small Steps

“A little progress each day adds up to big results.”

– Satya Nani

Don’t expect that you’ll be able to take in everything you need to study quickly and without difficulty. Give yourself the time to take small steps and divide big topics into smaller chunks. You’ll learn something new every day, which means you’re making progress every day.

Mastering a Skill Takes Time

“Skill is only developed by hours and hours of work.”

– Usain Bolt

Mastering a skill means putting in the time and effort it takes to become good at something. It’s easy to see a master at work and forget that it took hours of work to get to that level. If you set your mind to it and train or study hard, you can learn any skill you want.

Just Get Started

“The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.”

– Walt Disney

Too often we get stuck in a limbo of talking about or dreaming about beginning a project instead of just getting started. It’s the fear of failure that makes us come up with excuses but it’s okay to make mistakes. You’ll never grow if you don’t get started and make mistakes along the way.

What You Learn is Yours Forever

“The beautiful thing about learning is that nobody can take it away from you.”

– B.B. King

What you’re studying today, nobody can take away from you again. Knowledge is a power that stays with you as long as you keep using it. Use this power wisely to grow and become the person you want to be.

Seize the Day

It can be hard to get up in the morning and be fully committed to and motivated for the day ahead. It’s important to have a vision and goals that make you want to get up but it’s hard to determine what they are. Brainstorming and  creating a vision board  can help you decide what your vision should be to get you motivated.

Here are our inspirational quotes for students to help you follow the motto of ‘Carpe Diem!’:

Start Your Day With Positive Thinking

“Just one small positive thought in the morning can change your whole day.”

– Dalai Lama

Starting your day with a positive attitude towards learning and your life of study can be an enormous help to make your day in school or university go smoothly. Just a few minutes of reflection and writing down one positive thought in a gratitude journal every day will gradually form a more positive outlook. You might not see the effects immediately but if you tend to worry, try it and see the difference it can make to your day.

Focus on the Here and Now

“You can’t have a better tomorrow if you’re still thinking about yesterday.”

– Charles F. Kettering

Sometimes exams or essays might not go as planned and you find yourself mulling over what you should have done better over and over again. This is a waste of your brainpower and time. Instead of thinking about what you did wrong, write down lessons learned and apply them to your next project. This way, you can move on and make things better next time.

Don’t Keep Waiting for a Better Tomorrow

“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.”

– Anne Frank

Every day you start a new day you get the chance to improve and learn something new. Sometimes it’s easy to fall into a pattern of a better tomorrow when you keep pushing a project or studying for an exam to the following day. To seize the day, see what you can do today to improve your world.

Create Opportunities for Yourself

“If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door.”

– Milton Berle

It takes courage to follow your own path and generate opportunities for yourself, but there are ways to do so. Always be on the lookout for new opportunities that help you to move your studies along. If you find a topic hard to understand, find a study group to help you or be proactive in going to extra tutorial sessions.

Success Has to Start Somewhere

“Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.”

– Gail Devers

Sometimes all the group projects and exams seem to add up to an unconquerable mountain of workload. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by college work, focus on what you’re getting started with first instead of planning too far into the future. Think about it this way: Anything you’ve accomplished so far, you started somewhere.

Overcoming Procrastination

Procrastination is the arch-nemesis of every student. Usually based on anxiety or fear of failure, procrastination can become a bad habit that students develop over the years. Creating a structure for your studies by spreading out the work with regular breaks helps. 

Here are some quotes to combat procrastination and win the fight by being more productive:

Don’t Make Studying Harder Than it Should Be

“Procrastination makes easy things hard and hard things harder.”

– Mason Cooley

This is an important statement for all the students, who tend to pull all-nighters. Frantically trying to get an essay in the night before it’s due only makes your life harder. Instead of procrastinating until the deadline is only a day away, think about how much time you need for research and writing. Then plan to spread it across a few productive afternoons in the library.

Seize Your Opportunity to Shine

“Procrastination is opportunity’s assassin.”

– Victor Kiam

If you’re procrastinating, you miss the opportunity to show your best work. Anything that you create that has been well thought out and reviewed before submission will be better than a quickly patched together project or essay. Don’t let procrastination get in the way of your opportunity to shine!

Manage Your Time Wisely

“Procrastination is the thief of time.”

– Edward Young

It happens to the best of us. Instead of working on your group project, studying for your exam, or writing your essay, you decide to watch that show on Netflix or play that game on your console. Suddenly you awake from a haze of procrastination and hours have passed. 

You’re not sure where the time went but it’s gone. To avoid procrastination eating your precious time like that, plan your day making sure you achieve a balance between studying and breaks. During breaks, you can enjoy your favorite activities.

Create Healthy Habits to Combat Procrastination

“Ninety-nine percent of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses.”

– George Washington Carver

Procrastination often comes from a lack of motivation and a fear of failure that leads us to make excuses instead of getting started on work. This is a vicious cycle, as it’s much more likely to fail or make mistakes if you rush a project or essay to hand it in last minute. Fight procrastination with healthy habits that help you to manage your time.

Accept that There Will Be a Learning Curve

“You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.”

– Zig Ziglar

Fight the fear of failure with a positive attitude towards your studies. It’s natural to make mistakes when you’re learning something new. Remember that if you’re not getting started you can’t succeed either.

Quotes to Encourage a Positive Mindset

When student life gets tough with exams and due dates piling up, maintaining a positive mindset can be hard. It’s important though to look at the bright side to keep motivated and cultivate good mental health throughout your studies.

We’ve collected some quotes to inspire a positive mindset:

Stay Positive and Good Things Will Happen to You

“Optimism is a happiness magnet. If you stay positive, good things and good people will be drawn to you.”

– Mary Lou Retton

If you stay positive and surround yourself with friends that cheer you up, you’ll find that happiness won’t be so hard to achieve. Spread positivity and it will be reflected right back at you. Your friends and anyone new you meet at school or university will be happy to have a study buddy with a positive attitude.

Use Positivity to Achieve Your Goals

“Your positive action combined with positive thinking results in success.”

– Shiv Khera

Make sure you translate your positive thinking into actions to keep moving forward with your studies. Instead of a negative no-can-do attitude switch to a can-do philosophy. Don’t be afraid to try new things! College is for exploring and discovering new skills.

Combat Perfectionism with a Positive Attitude

“Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.”

– Arthur Ashe

Don’t get entangled in your inner critic’s judgemental comments. Sometimes you need to let perfectionism go and take a more positive stance of doing the best that you can with the resources you have at your disposal. Not everything you do in school or college will be perfect but you should always be able to say that you did the best you could.

Belief in Yourself

“To be an overachiever you have to be an over-believer.”

– Dabo Swinney

If you’re planning to go beyond expectations in your studies, the first thing you need to do is to believe in yourself that you can. To be successful, let go of your fears and embrace a positive attitude. Know what you’re capable of and have a vision in mind of what it will be like when you achieve your goals.

Strengthen Your Faith in Your Success

“Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.”

– Helen Keller

Find things to do that give you confidence outside of your studies. See it as a study break to build up your confidence that will help you to stay optimistic. This can range from activities like making art to regular training sessions to keep fit. The little moments of success you have when you’re doing what you like best give you courage and hope.

Bounce Back from Failure

Getting back on track when your results didn’t go as planned is one of the hardest things you’ll do throughout your school and university career. It’s important to not get disheartened when you had to face a setback. Mistakes are part of the learning curve and help you to improve.

Here are some inspirational quotes to help you when it feels like things aren’t working out for you:

Have Faith and Be Patient When Times Are Hard

“Fall seven times, stand up eight.”

– Japanese Proverb

No matter how many times you fail, always get straight back up and try again. Trust yourself to succeed eventually. Even if it took you a little longer than usual, you’ll get there. Instead of giving up, find patience within yourself and give yourself the time you need.

Keep Trying New Things

“A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.”

– Albert Einstein

Instead of being worried about trying something new, embrace the possibility of failure and focus on enjoying the learning experience. It would be boring to master everything immediately without making a few mistakes on the way that help you improve. If you go into new experiences in college with an open and excited mindset, you’ll be able to shrug off anything that goes wrong.

Move on to Better Opportunities

“I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been given a no. Only to find that a better, brighter, bigger yes was right around the corner.”

– Arlan Hamilton

Rejection is hard to accept but don’t let one person telling you no get you down. A more interesting project might be waiting for you right around the corner. You’re going to meet many teachers and students throughout your school and university career. Some will agree with you and some won’t but that shouldn’t block you from carving your own path.

Embrace Failure as a Means to Success

“We need to accept that we won’t always make the right decisions, that we’ll screw up royally sometimes – understanding that failure is not the opposite of success, it’s part of success.”

– Ariana Huffington

Making the wrong choice sometimes is part of life. Accepting that you’re not perfect and that mistakes happen is the first step towards bouncing back from failure more easily. You’ll come to view your mistakes as just another step on your way to success.

Success Comes at the Prize of Previous Failures

“I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”

– Michael Jordan

If even someone as successful and popular as Michael Jordan admits that he fails over and over again, you can stop being hard on yourself. Everyone fails once in a while. The trick is to get back up again and keep taking steps towards your goals.

Practice Kindness and Self-Care

When you’re caught up in a study marathon, you might forget about taking care of yourself and neglect your relationships. However, self-care is crucial to maintain a good balance between studying and relaxing time. Try to practice one of your hobbies regularly to give yourself some time out and to recharge. Avoid becoming a hermit every time you need to study and use your breaks to talk to friends and family.

We’ve collected some words of wisdom on kindness and self-care for you:

Spread Positivity Through Kindness

“In a world where you can be anything, be kind.”

– Jennifer Dukes Lee

When we rush through our days in the fast-paced world of today, we can sometimes forget to be kind. You might get frustrated with the speed that exams come around or fixated on those deadlines and forget everyone and everything else around you. Combat this unhealthy state of mind by stopping yourself every once in a while and looking around you to notice what’s happening outside of your bubble of study frenzy.

Offer Yourself Kindness

“Self-compassion is simply giving the same kindness to ourselves that we would give to others.”

– Christopher Germer

Don’t neglect self-compassion and kindness during your studies. To have the capacity for compassion towards others, you need to be kind to yourself first. To be self-compassionate, offer yourself the same understanding that you would a friend. Know that you’re not alone in this and that many other students face similar issues. This will help shift your perspective and make you feel more connected.

Help Wherever You Can

“Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and do good.”

– Minor Myers Jur

If you’re good at a subject, there’s no better feeling than helping a friend who’s struggling with it. If you’re doing well, you can share some of your good fortunes in this way. Students should stick together and help each other out. It’s not only more fun but helps developing friendships that will last a lifetime.

Use Self-Care to Stay on Track

“Self-discipline is self-caring.”

– M. Scott Peck

Self-care is important to build up resilience for staying disciplined and productive. If you can get rid of your inner critic, you’ll be able to spend more time working on your study goals instead of mulling over what went wrong. Practice self-compassion and don’t get caught up in harsh judgments you might make about yourself.

Developing Self-Compassion Takes Time

“Be patient with yourself. Self-growth is tender; it’s holy ground. There’s no greater investment.”

– Stephen Covey

If you’re working on being more compassionate towards yourself, you also have to learn to be patient with yourself. Making peace with your inner critic is not an easy task and takes time. Accept that you’ll learn and grow and you’re well on your way towards greater resilience against whatever life throws at you.

Believe in Yourself and Persevere

Perseverance is deeply rooted in an unwavering belief in yourself. To endure the times when you’re overwhelmed by deadlines and exams, you need to believe that you can get to the finish line. When you’re struggling, take a step back and look at what you’ve accomplished so far. This will give you new energy and a positive outlook. You’ve done it before, so you can do it again!

Here are our inspirational quotes to keep you going:

Trust Yourself to Succeed

“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.”

– Thomas Edison

When it seems like you can’t go any further, the solution to your problem might just be waiting around the corner. So don’t give up and trust that you’ll find a way. You don’t want to risk giving up right before you succeed.

Mindset is Everything

“Just believe in yourself. Even if you don’t pretend that you do and, at some point, you will.”

-Venus Williams

If you’re struggling with having faith in yourself and your skills, try pretending that you can do anything you set your mind to. Practice this for a while and observe how your mindset changes. You might find that you have a more positive outlook and start believing in yourself more.

There’s More to You Than Meets the Eye

“You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.”

– A.A Milne

Sometimes you don’t know what you’re capable of until life tests you. The pressures of doing well in your degree can be such a test. Look at it as a quest to prove to yourself how strong and smart you are. This way you get to know yourself better and your student life becomes the perfect preparation for your life after graduation.

Endurance Is Key

“Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after the other.”

– Walter Elliot

If you master perseverance, it’s something that will be with you all your life. It’s about having the will to keep going and taking one step after the other even when the odds aren’t in your favor. Take exams and deadlines one by one instead of getting overwhelmed by what can seem to be a very long journey towards your graduation.

Keep Moving Forward No Matter What Happens

“You don’t drown by falling in the water; you drown by staying there.”

Even when it seems hard to keep going, choose to move forward. You can’t accomplish anything by just stopping and staying where you are. Have faith that you’re trying your best and that you’re studying as hard as you can. Keep moving until you reach your goals.

Inspiration to Read More

Reading is one of the best and most pleasurable things to do to sharpen the mind. It’s more than just learning facts and dates from school books. Books widen your horizon and make you see different perspectives. Reading fosters an understanding of the world that would be hard to achieve otherwise.

We’ve collected a few words of wisdom for times when you’ve forgotten about the benefits and pleasures of reading:

Your Path to Greater Knowledge

“The more that you read, the more things you will know, the more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”

– Dr. Seuss

Reading means knowledge. With every book you read, you learn and with the help of your imagination, you can go anywhere you like. Reading lets you enter spaces that would otherwise be hard or impossible to travel to like distant countries, fictional worlds, or states of mind.

Use Books to Escape

“That’s the thing about books. They let you travel without moving your feet.”

– Jhumpa Lahiri

Even when you have to read a lot for school or university, don’t forget to pick up a book for yourself as a means of escape every once in a while. Even though it might seem counterintuitive to read even more during your study breaks, it’s refreshing and relaxing to read for pleasure and enter a different world for a while.

Reading Opens Your Mind to New Experiences

“Reading is essential for those who seek to rise above the ordinary.”

Reading fosters a more open mind and takes you beyond knowledge. Rather than just taking in information like a computer, you can gain a deeper understanding of the human condition.

Through empathy with the characters you read about, you get to see different worldviews. This will help you keep an open mind for meeting new people and having new experiences during your studies and the rest of your life.

Tap into the Wisdom of the Past

“The reading of all good books is like conversation with the finest (people) of the past centuries.”

– Descartes

A book is your window to the knowledge of the past. Every book is an opportunity to learn from a smart person that you most likely never get a chance to talk to otherwise. Even if they died long ago, their words live on for you to study.

Read Your Way to Success

“Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.”

– Margaret Fuller

Many successful leaders are also avid readers. Applying their knowledge from books directly or indirectly, they paved their way towards success. Even though it can be hard sometimes to motivate yourself for all the reading you have to do throughout your school and university career, it’s essential to read widely to reach your goals.

Motivational Quotes for Graduation

Your big day is just around the corner. After years of hard work, you finally get to celebrate your success with your friends and family. You might have mixed feelings about what lies ahead of you after your graduation and that’s only natural. Remember to stay in the moment and party hard!

Celebrate the bittersweet end of your school career and look hopeful into the future with these quotes:

Get Excited about New Beginnings

“Everything’s always ending. But everything’s always beginning, too.”

– Patrick Ness

Life is full of beginnings and endings and if you hone in on it so is student life. You complete one year of your degree and the next begins. When you graduate, you transition into a different new beginning outside of university. It can be daunting but also exciting. Enjoy every bit of it!

Learning Is for Life

“Instruction ends in the schoolroom, but education ends only with life.”

– Frederick W. Robertson

Even if you’re looking forward to not spending hours studying in the library anymore after graduation, you’ll see that the process of learning never really stops. School and university can prepare you for life in many ways, but life itself will keep teaching you new lessons. That way you’ll keep learning something new every day.

Keep Learning Every Day

“Education is something we have to keep pursuing day after day.”

– Premier Brian Gallant

Enjoy your graduation and have a break, but after that it’s time to keep learning. Even if you think you know a lot, life has a way of throwing new challenges at you. Embrace them! Learning doesn’t end when you step outside your university’s campus for the last time.

Create Your Own Future

“The best way to predict your future is to create it.”

– Abraham Lincoln

Whether you’re unsure about your plans for the future, or a million ideas are running through your head, don’t just keep thinking about it but take action. Planning is great but at some point, it’s time to get started on forging your own path. If you don’t begin to walk on it, you’ll never know where it will take you.

Be Brave and Be Yourself

“It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.”

– E.E. Cummings

When you’ve just graduated, you have a lot of expectations of what’s to come. Whatever challenges pop up next, face them with courage and remember to be yourself. You’ll continue to grow and find out who you truly are.

Lifelong Learning

Even after your graduation, you’ll continue to learn and grow. Your formal education might be completed but the new lessons of life await. Just like throughout school and university, you’ll face challenges, make mistakes, and get back up on your feet again to continue and grow.

We’ve collected some powerful quotes to inspire you on your path of lifelong learning:

Continue to Look for Sparks of Inspiration

“The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be ignited.”

When you left university, find more time to look at other areas that have always interested you. Even after years of education, your mind won’t be filled up. You’re only getting started. Be sure to keep challenging yourself and finding those sparks of inspiration.

Retain a Childlike Curiosity

“Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young.”

– Henry Ford

Always remember to stay curious about learning new techniques or gaining new knowledge. Even as you get further away from your formal education in years, retain a childlike curiosity that keeps you young. This stops you from stagnating in your job and you’ll keep growing.

Help to Create a Better World

“Education is the most powerful weapon, which you can use to change the world.”

– Nelson Mandela

Don’t underestimate the power of education when it comes to changing the world. Critical thinking and research to see the grey areas rather than view the world in black and white are crucial skills when you’re looking to improve the world around us. Use this power of yours wisely!

Find Wisdom Through Education

“Wisdom…. comes not from age, but from education and learning.”

– Anton Chekhov

If you want to achieve wisdom in life, you have to keep learning. You can learn from experience as you get older but also make conscious efforts to add to your education. A hunger for learning is essential to finding wisdom.

Do What You Love and Keep Learning

“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”

– Mahatma Gandhi

Live your life like there’s no tomorrow and don’t hesitate to do what you love. Part of that is also to keep on learning and evolving. If you could live forever, you’d want to keep it exciting, which means that you’ll always have to be on the lookout for learning something new.

15 Funny and Motivational Quotes about Homework

When you think of homework, what comes to mind?

Maybe you think of worksheets and penmanship. Maybe you think of math drills and word problems. Maybe you think of busywork and time spent on unnecessary tasks. 

Whatever you think of, we’re pretty sure most people don’t have a positive association with homework. For kids, it means extra school work when school hours are over and they just want to play. For parents, it means time spent supervising or coaxing after a long day at work. And, for teachers, it means hours of grading once the kids go home. 

But, in defense of homework, we think there are some good reasons it exists that make us want to change our negative mindset about it! Homework helps to build responsibility and teach kids to work independently. It develops good study habits in students and can boost self-esteem and develop confidence. Afterall, everyone loves to see that bright red “100%” or “good job!” at the top of their paper! Some homework can help to develop critical thinking and problem solving skills. And it definitely teaches life lessons about time management.

At the end of the day, doing tasks that aren’t the most fun but are necessary is a part of life that teaches self-discipline. So here’s to buckling down, focusing hard, and knocking out your homework each day!

We’ve put together a list of 15 quotes about homework to help you look on the bright side of after-school learning. Some are motivational and some poke fun at what can seem like drudgery, but all of them are perfect for your letter board or other magnetic surface in your home or classroom!

Those collections are meaningful and easy to remember. “Do what you have to do until you can do what you want to do.” is my favourite one and hope I can do what I want to do soon. Thank you for sharing.

Every quote you shared is very motivating and will help who is really looking for some motivation. For some of motivational blog and stories you can visit my website.

Wow!! It was a beautiful collection of quotes. Some not heard of (best part of your collection that it’s not filled with the common ones) but so deep and meaningful. Great piece of work! Glad came across this. Was looking for some quote for our magazine and looks like I’ve reached the destination.

“Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.” First time hearing this quote and I think it’s brilliant! Thanks for this article, Quincy!

Excellent list, thank you for this.

I would like to add a quote from the late hero, Kobe Bryant.

“Everything negative – pressure, challenges – is all an opportunity for me to rise.”

This would be great to share in your article.
