Type "find quotes" in a search engine.  There are many sites out there where you will find famous quotes, or quotes from famous people.  You can search by subject, like "achievement, self improvement, inspiration, striving, etc."  Just think of words associated with the kind of quote you need.  Visit your library too, there are books of quotes as well.
