About QuoteDB

QuoteDB is a curated collection of 81 quotes from 45 of history's greatest thinkers, writers, leaders, and philosophers. Browse by category or author, or get a random dose of inspiration.

The quotes are selected and entered by hand rather than drawn from an external quotes API, and each is tagged with one of 12 themes: Life, Motivation, Wisdom, Success, Love, Philosophy, Courage, Creativity, Change, Happiness, Leadership, Knowledge. Attributions follow the commonly accepted source, but many famous lines circulate under the wrong name, so if you plan to cite a quote, confirm it in the original text. Spotted a misattribution? Let us know and we will correct it.
