What are some good inspirational quotes for teens? I’m looking for some, that are not too long, and are relatable to teens, and not difficult to comprehend. I have a summer school class assignment where you are supposed to pick a quote, and then write a song about the same central theme. It suppose to be relatable to people around your age group.
