Updated on October 21, 2021 By Daniel Wong 159 Comments

Reading motivational quotes for students can give you a quick boost of inspiration to study.

Let me ask you a question…

Do you ever struggle with a lack of motivation?

You’re supposed to be studying for next week’s test. But instead you end up texting your friends, watching videos, or playing games.

After procrastinating for an hour, you finally get down to work.

But you just don’t feel that motivated.

Sound familiar?

Developing long-term motivation is a complicated issue.

But you can become more motivated to study in the short term by reading inspirational quotes.

So I’ve compiled this list of 40 motivational quotes for students to help you study hard.

The quotes are listed below according to the following categories:

• Believing in yourself
• Cultivating a success mindset
• Overcoming procrastination
• Not making excuses
• Perseverance

61 inspiring & funny homework quotes (assignment), top 25 most famous quotes about homework (best).

“Education is a cause very close to me. What matters is encouraging my fans to focus on their education, because only an educated generation can ensure a better future. Even when I was on tour, I did my homework and studied.” Martin Garrix

“No kid should be getting three or four hours of homework a night. There’s no breathing time, there’s no family time, there are just extracurriculars and homework and then go to bed.” Ross W. Greene

“I feel sorry for kids these days. They get so much homework. Remember the days when we put a belt around our two books and carried them home? Now they’re dragging a suitcase. They have school all day, then homework from six until eleven. There’s no time left to be creative .” Tom Petty

“I’ve always been surrounded by many great people and professors, but my family , especially my mom who was a teacher, was the person who encouraged me to study and pushed me to continue. When we’re young, we don’t understand why our parents bug us so much with school and doing homework, but it’s a blessing to have that support at home.” Bad Bunny

“After your first job, is anyone asking you what your GPA was? No, they don’t care. They ask you: Are you a good leader? Do people follow you? Do you have integrity ? Are you innovative ? Do you solve problems? Somebody’s got to do that homework and redesign the educational system so that it can actually train people to be successful in life.” Neil deGrasse Tyson

“You have got to pay attention, you have got to study and you have to do your homework. You have to score higher than everybody else. Otherwise, there is always somebody there waiting to take your place.” Daisy Fuentes

“Growing up, I ate, slept and breathed hockey. I got home from school, I shot pucks, played outdoor hockey, road hockey, go home for dinner… Remember this is pre-Internet, barely any video games, I had a Commodore Vic-20.

10 Inspiring Quotes To Motivate You When Writing Assignments

It’s that time of the year again when everything seems to be due at once and it does not feel like there is enough time in the day to do it all. As students we experience a constant flux and flow of motivation so here are 10 of the most inspiring quotes regarding that study grind to motivate you when writing assignments.

1. Writing Assignments Requires Rest

“If you get tired learn to rest, not to quit.” – Banky

This quote is particularly relevant at this time of year when writing assignments because we feel fatigue more now than ever before. But it is important to note that taking study breaks is important for not just your physical health, but your emotional health too! So next time an assignment has you feeling worn out, take a break but don’t quit. You’ve got this!

2. Take A Risk When Writing Assignments

“How sweet the risks are.” Paul Valéry

In the midst of a particularly gruelling essay we often fail to see the benefit in risk. When we take a risk we almost always reap the reward. So this assignment season choose a topic that’ll challenge you and help you grow, experiment with new language and have fun with it! The possibility of learning something new will help you find that missing motivation.

3. Have Nerve When Writing Assignments

“It’s not enough to be nice in life. You’ve got to have nerve.” – Georgia O’Keffe

When you are writing assignments this semester remind yourself to have nerve and be brave in your work! We lose motivation when we also lose faith in ourselves and our own capabilities, so invite motivation back into your life by having the tenacity to do something that makes you nervous.

4. You Belong Here!

“I belong wherever I want to be.” – Stephenie Meyer

As students we are no strangers to a mid-assignment existential crisis. We then lose our motivation because we don’t believe we belong where we are, but the truth is that we belong wherever we want to be! So if you are doing what you love, if you are striving for a particular career that you think serves your life’s purpose then you are doing exactly what you are supposed to be doing – which right now, is finishing that assignment. Allow your sense of belonging to motivate you!

5. Take Your Time When Writing Assignments

“No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.” – Virginia Woolf

Assignment deadlines often have us scrambling to finish our work in time but don’t let a due date rush you to the point that you lose all motivation to finish it at all. The truth is that just by being who you are, you are already capable to do this work. You don’t need to be smarter, richer, shiner or someone else to do what you are doing. So motivate yourself with your own qualities and don’t rush. You will get it done!

6. You’ll Find The Way!

“Hidden in all that tangle, there is a way.” – Adrienne Rich

When writing assignments challenges us the most we often lose our motivation because we can’t see how we can get it done when there is so much standing in our way. But in between what is holding us back there is a way in which to get it done. It doesn’t matter how you get it done, just that you do! So look past what is hindering your progress and find a way to do it.

7. coffee helps.

“Coffee in one hand. Confidence in the other.” – Unknown

While we are not all coffee drinkers, this quote reminds us to hold close something that soothes us while we let our confidence carry us. There needs to be balance when writing assignments. So if a cup of coffee helps you when you are studying, demolish those lattes but it’s important you stay in tune to your confidence as well. You have two hands, use them both!

8. Find Something To Be Excited About!

“You ruin your life by tolerating it. At the end of the day you should be excited to be alive. When you settle for anything less than what you innately desire, you destroy the possibility that lives inside of you, and in that way you cheat both yourself and the world of your potential. The next Michelangelo could be sitting behind a Macbook right now writing an invoice for paperclips, because it pays the bills, or because it is comfortable, or because he can tolerate it. Do not let this happen to you. Do not ruin your life this way. Life and work, and life and love, are not irrespective of each other. They are intrinsically linked. We have to strive to do extraordinary work, we have to strive to find extraordinary love. Only then will we tap into an extraordinarily blissful life.” – Bianca Sparacino

Writing assignments can be boring and hard work but we must remind ourselves that these assignments are apart of the bigger picture and we ruin our lives if we are simply tolerating them. Watch your motivation pour back into your life when you have a better sense of why you are doing the work.

9. Don’t Take Your Assignments Too Seriously

“Learn what is to be taken seriously and laugh at the rest.” – Herman Hesse

Motivations escapes us when we take things too seriously and make them harder than they need to be. So while this assignment may be worth a large portion of your marks, your entire career rides on much more than this one assessment piece. So don’t take it too seriously and try to laugh in between.

10. You Are In Control!

“The world only exists in your eyes. You can make it as big or as small as you want.” – F. Scott Fitzgerald

When we realise we are the authors of our own stories we often find our motivation again. The world is our oyster and we are completely in control of the journey we take, so let your power also be your motivation this assignment season!

Homework Quotes

Standart top banner.

Nothing is more powerful for your future than being a gatherer of good ideas and information. That's called doing your homework.

A genius is a talented person who does his homework.

Homework strongly indicates that the teachers are not doing their jobs well enough during the school day. It's not like they'll let you bring your home stuff to school and work on it there. You can't say, 'I didn't finish sleeping at home, so I have to work on finishing my sleep here.

Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. As a result, a genius is often a talented person who has simply done all of his homework.

Homework is a term that means grown up imposed yet self-afflicting torture.

Persistence is important in every endeavor. Whether it's finishing your homework, completing school, working late to finish a project, or "finishing the drill" in sports, winners persist to the point of sacrifice in order to achieve their goals.

I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework.

Homework, I have discovered, involves a sharp pencil and thick books and long sighs.

You will never get anywhere if you do not do your homework.

We're doing our homework to make sure we're prepared.

Do your homework or hire wise experts to help you. Never jump into a business you have no idea about.

When was the last time you used the words 'teach me'? Maybe not since you started first grade? Here's an irony about school: The daily grind of tests, homework, and pressures sometimes blunts rather than stimulates a thirst for knowledge.

The more you do your homework, the more you're free to be intuitive. But you've got to put the work in.

College is about three things: homework, fun, and sleep...but you can only choose two.

The best schools tend to have the best teachers, not to mention parents who supervise homework, so there is less need for self-organised learning. But where a child comes from a less supportive home environment, where there are family tensions perhaps, their schoolwork can suffer. They need to be taught to think and study for themselves.

One of life's most painful moments comes when we must admit that we didn't do our homework, that we are not prepared.

To overcome stress you have to find out something. You've got to do some research and homework. You need to find out who you are today.

My life is a black hole of boredom and despair." "So basically you've been doing homework." "Like I said, black hole.

Do your homework, study the craft, believe in yourself, and out-work everyone.

Do as much homework as you can. Learn everybody's job and don't just settle.

If you want to be lucky, do your homework.

I'm learning skills I will use for the rest of my life by doing homework...procrastinating and negotiation.

You have got to pay attention, you have got to study and you have to do your homework. You have to score higher than everybody else. Otherwise, there is always somebody there waiting to take your place.

You don’t get rich off your day job, you get rich off your homework.

Are you a quotes master, in which movie does this quote appear: "may the force be with you.".

Remember what it means to celebrate Independence Day, local vet reflects on July 4

While most Americans celebrate the Declaration of Independence and critical figures like Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, I prefer to honor George Washington on Independence Day. Growing up in Erie County, I became fascinated with him while studying the French and Indian War in high school. I found it astonishing that at age 21, he visited the region to deliver a message from the British government to the French . He became even more significant to me when I received my first junior officer assignment to the USS George Washington (CVN 73) as part of its inaugural crew. Participating in the ship's commissioning on July 4, 1992, at Norfolk Naval Base remains one of the fondest memories of my naval career. Since then, each Fourth of July, I remember my first ship and its namesake as I celebrate Independence Day.

I find myself considering George Washington with even deeper contemplation this presidential election year. Washington historically impacted the establishment of our democracy, from leading the Continental Army's victory during the Revolutionary War to presiding over the Constitutional Convention. Yet, it's his presidency that is perhaps most remarkable. After serving two terms, he stepped aside, demonstrating his belief that the Office of President was not a monarchy. He established the precedent that 43 successive presidents followed — the peaceful transfer of power. It wasn't until the 2020 election that a defeated President Trump ignored Washington's example.

The events on Jan. 6, 2021, demonstrated to me that Donald Trump is the antithesis of George Washington. Trump's refusal to ensure a peaceful transfer to the next elected president validated his contempt for the Constitution and amplified concerns for most of the country. However, we should find his disdain for the Declaration of Independence's tenets more alarming. Supported by a political progeny of many Americans who historically challenged the declaration's vision and solemn promise, a second Donald Trump term, I believe, would marginalize, if not eradicate, the Founding Fathers' vision.

In his book "Rebellion," Robert Kagan discusses how the founders adopted John Locke's liberal political philosophy to draft the Declaration of Independence. More importantly, he details those who opposed its key concepts, specifically natural rights and equality. Identifying the initial dissenters as the slaveholders in the southern colonies, Kagan quotes their contempt, "They regarded the very idea of universal equal rights as a sham, an absurdity that was contradicted, they insisted, by all of human history." After the Constitution's ratification, many still disagreed with our founding document. Kagan recalls comments made by political leaders in the early 19th century, citing former Vice President John C. Calhoun's belief that equality was a "false doctrine" and social theorist George Fitzhugh, who argued that inequality was a natural and beneficial aspect of society. Even after the Civil War, Kagan noted the many efforts to sustain similar anti-democracy views into the 21st century, creating political tensions on immigration, women's suffrage, civil rights, and same-sex marriage. These issues became flashpoints between those who aspired to fulfill America's vision and those opposed to our foundational ideals. In 2016, that latter fringe, as I see it, finally had the political clout to pursue their assault on democracy with the election of Donald Trump.

Unlike other Republican presidents, Donald Trump's words and actions, in my view, are anathema to our core beliefs. While Abraham Lincoln reaffirmed the nation's commitment to the proposition that all men are created equal , Trump employs racially charged language when discussing immigrants from Mexico and African countries . Similarly, Dwight D. Eisenhower protected civil rights  in defense of desegregation, and Ronald Reagan believed the Declaration of Independence's ideals were central to American identity . Yet, Donald Trump frequently echoes white supremacist rhetoric often associated with the segregationists of the 1950s and 1960s and campaigns to remove workplace equality protections for women, people of color, and the LGBTQ community.

Guided by the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 , and with the support of loyalists, a second Trump presidency, I fear, could also erode other foundational norms. His disregard for the rule of law, separation of powers , and civil liberties will continue to move the country further away from its core liberal democracy founding. Sadly, the party of Lincoln, who embraced the notion of equality and natural rights, has become the party of Donald Trump, who champions white nationalists and authoritarians.

Ironically, Donald Trump supporters claim to value the Declaration of Independence while applauding his anti-democracy diatribe. They argue he will return us to traditional American values. I believe they need to recognize the declaration contains the most fundamental and defining of all traditional American values — ones that Donald Trump, in my view, simply does not support:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

Unlike his predecessors, Donald Trump, I believe, represents the most significant challenge to our democracy since the Civil War. I fear he will nullify the Declaration of Independence's significance and render Independence Day irrelevant. During another Trump presidency that will include our semiquincentennial, will July 4th simply become another day on the calendar? We must reelect Joe Biden in November to protect the principles of democracy we celebrate.
