52 Quotes to Motivate, Inspire and Share on Social Media

As the clock struck midnight and the ball dropped in Times Square, New York City, on January 1st, many of us eagerly made resolutions to improve ourselves in the coming year. Fast forward a few weeks, and it's already clear that some of these resolutions may have been a bit too ambitious. From promising to give up certain foods or vowing to hit the gym daily, it's easy to lose sight of our goals. But let's be honest; it's not the end of the world if we stumble along the way. In fact, it's almost expected. So let's take a moment to laugh at ourselves and our failed resolutions and remember that it's always okay to start again.

With that being said, words have the power to inspire, uplift, and motivate us to be our best selves. In times of difficulty, a simple quote can encourage us to keep going. An inspirational quote can remind us or those who read it of their strength and potential. They can also remind us never to give up on our dreams or resolutions.

Regardless of the circumstances, here are 52 inspirational quotes that you can use to share on your social media feeds.
