What we do in life echoes in eternity.
Maximus
Motivational quotes are the most-searched quote genre on the internet, and most of what ranks for the term is a wall of pastel platitudes with no name attached. QuoteGeek does it the geek way: every line here comes from somewhere - a boxer on the ropes, a coach at halftime, a philosopher-emperor writing notes to himself - with the speaker and the work on the label. And because the motivational canon is fake-quote central, we say so when provenance is shaky: knowing who actually said a line is half the point.
