You have big dreams. You are equipped with the things you need to get there, but sometimes you need a little shove and motivation. These quotes will remind you why you love public relations and help you get everything you want. Keep calm, push on.

“I advise you to stop sharing your dreams with people who try to hold you back, even if they’re your parents. Because if you’re the kind of person who senses there’s something out there for you beyond whatever it is you’re expected to do – if you want to be EXTRA-ordinary- you will not get there by hanging around a bunch of people who tell you you’re not extraordinary. Instead, you will probably become as ordinary as they expect you to be.” – Kelly Cutrone

“PR means telling the truth and working ethically – even when all the media want is headlines and all the public wants is scapegoats. Public relations fails when there is no integrity.” – Viv Segal

“Whether you think you can or can’t, you are right.” – Henry Ford

“Public-relations specialists make flower arrangements of the facts, placing them so the wilted and less attractive petals are hidden by sturdy blooms.” – Alan Harrington

“I never dreamed about success. I worked for it.” – Estee Lauder

“Regardless of how you feel inside, always try to look like a winner. Even if you are behind, a sustained look of control and confidence can give you a mental edge that results in victory.” – Arthur Ashe​​​​​​

“Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.” – Henry David Thoreau

“Publicity is absolutely critical. A good PR story is infinitely more effective than a front page ad.” – Richard Branson
