Quotes For Kids & Students

When I was younger, I heard the Mark Twain quote: “The two most important days of your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why.”

It stuck with me. It was inspiring.

I don’t know how often kids and students get an opportunity to read quotes, but here’s a list you can use. Print them out, drop them in a lunch box, hang them on a mirror, or create a collection and inspire your kids.

Have big dreams, you’ll grow into them.
