Learning is difficult without motivation because you have no reasons to learn and no goals to attain. You don’t know why you should learn new words or practice the new grammar. So how could you find your motivation again?
Motivation is triggered by a lot of things. That could be your next trip to another country, a challenge with a friend or just your own wish to learn a foreign language. It doesn’t matter what it is, the important thing is, that there exists something. Learning with friends could motivate you, but also learning alone at home, in a bar or in the nature. You have to decide which things can motivate you to learn new things, for example a new language, and to enjoy them.

How can you use these quotes?
Quotes are only useful when you read them. So write them down, hang them up and read them as often as you can. You can pin them on your pin board, create a desktop wallpaper with them for your laptop or write a note for your mirror in the bathroom (so you could read the quote while brushing your teeth).
But the most important thing is: These quotes should motivate you. So choose quotes that you really like.
You could find them at home, in a book or or on your next language trip. Keep the eyes open, find the perfect quote for you and get your motivation back.
