Why every quote here has a source
Most motivational quotes online were never said by the person under them. "Success is not final, failure is not fatal" is a 1938 beer advertisement, not Churchill. "We are what we repeatedly do" is Will Durant summarising Aristotle, not Aristotle. "It is not the strongest of the species that survives" was written by a management professor in 1963, not Darwin. Roughly a third of the lines we considered for this deck turned out to be like that, and they were thrown out.
What is left is shorter and better. Each quote carries the name of the person who actually said or wrote it, and behind the scenes a note of where — a page of Meditations, a magazine interview, a letter. A quotation with a real name under it is a different thing from a slogan. It has a person in it.
The three who send them are Michelle, Sofia Storm and Sofia Swift: one line a day with a photo from her morning, never the same one twice. That is how the daily message works, and the guides are the longer version of the same advice.
