Edit - English Language & Usage Stack Exchange

You are not logged in. Your edit will be placed in a queue until it is peer reviewed.

We welcome edits that make the post easier to understand and more valuable for readers. Because community members review edits, please try to make the post substantially better than how you found it, for example, by fixing grammar or adding additional resources and hyperlinks.

It's always a risk to venture an answer on a poor question. There's always somebody who takes issue anonymously and without offering any reason whatsoever. One of the shitty things about an otherwise valuable forum.

This may be close to what the OP has in mind, but the word motivational is nowadays so often used in business-related and popular-psychology contexts that it sounds odd to characterise something like the Bible as motivational, even though it is literally true.

@Jsw29: Not sure why you're focusing so much on the bible when that book was presented only as an example of things read and re-read, for insight or inspiration (mind-reading OP's "reminders") and the body of the question mentions "maxims, manifesto, or aphorisms".
