About this quote

Mark Twain on drive, action, and pushing past resistance, distilled into a single line: "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was her...". It is one of the more shared lines in our motivation collection, and for good reason.

Motivation quotes work best when they are short enough to remember in the middle of a hard moment. A single line on your lock screen can pull you back into the right mindset faster than any productivity app.
