New Month Quotes From Real People (With Sources)
Many “new month quotes” online are pinned on the wrong person. We checked each of these against at least two reputable sources on 1 October 2026 before including it. Add your own line before the quote so the message still sounds like you.
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” Will Durant, The Story of Philosophy (1926)
Often credited to Aristotle, but the wording is Durant’s own summary of Aristotle’s ideas (sources: Snopes, UMass Boston Healey Library).
“How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.” Annie Dillard, The Writing Life (1989)
Sources: Goodreads, Book Riot.
“Do what you can, with what you’ve got, where you are.” Squire Bill Widener, quoted by Theodore Roosevelt in An Autobiography (1913)
Usually shared as a Roosevelt line; Roosevelt himself credited Widener (sources: Theodore Roosevelt Center, WIST Quotations).

Questions People Ask
What is a good inspirational message for a new month?
One that names a small, specific action, like “one chapter a night” or “send five applications,” works better than a general wish. People remember a task; they forget “have a great month.”
How do I encourage someone at the start of a new month without sounding preachy?
Keep it short, mention something real in their life, and skip the lecture. “Proud of you for still trying” lands better than a paragraph of advice.
Can I use a famous quote as a new month message?
Yes, but check who actually said it. Plenty of popular quotes are misattributed. The six above have their sources listed, and adding one line of your own before the quote keeps it personal.
Should I send motivational messages to my whole contact list?
It is better to send a few personal ones. A message with someone’s name and their goal in it means more than the same forward sent to 200 people.
