How to use famous quotes.

Here are some best practices when working with inspirational quotes:

style
long-form
Picture, Picture

When you use quotes by famous people, consider the source.

For example, Marilyn Monroe was quoted saying: “Keep smiling... life is a beautiful thing and there’s so much to smile about.” While it’s a lovely quote, some audiences might think about the tragic way Monroe took her own life. The quote doesn’t settle well with that conflicting association.

It’s important to learn a little about the context quotes were said in.

If you find a great quote by a U.S. president, look up the context it was said in. The source speech might not have used the quote the way you want to, and the context might change the meaning.

Always double check the source.

Whenever you do use an inspirational quote, it’s also a good idea to double-check who said it. Many popular quotes have been mistakenly attributed to other people.

Exercise: Target the emotion.

If you have a target audience for your inspirational quote, picking the right quote for the occasion is important. To find the best inspirational quote, ask yourself: how do you want the audience to feel? What do you want them to be inspired by? It’s different to be inspired by confidence, humility, work ethic, or by admiration. Drill down to the exact kind of inspiration you’re working to evoke, then find a quote that fits it.
