Quotes meaningful for teenagers?

Question

I work with teenagers on an adolescent residential treatment unit. As part of a group idea, I need quotations from celebrities they are familiar with and like. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I could find inspirational quotes from celebrities? I tried googling famous celebrity quotes and everything I came back with was mostly about non-inspiriational stuff. I would appreciate any ideas you have. Thanks!

Instead of a celeb, how about a saint?! I think this is a great one for an adolescent residential treatment unit: "O my God, forgive what I have been, correct what I am, and direct what I shall be." - Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton

Answer 3

Todays society is too obsessed with "celebrities" why does it have to be a celebrity. I am sure you can get excellent quotes from authors, poets, businessmen, presidents. I cannot think of a single inspirational quote from a current celebrity. However there are many quotes written in years past that could still inspire our youth.
