I am putting together a book of motivational quotes that I am going to sell. Are there any copyright issues?

Copyright issues asked:
I want to sell a book filled with a compilation of motivational quotes. I want to use quotes from various sources such as famous people(actors, motivational speakers, politicians, authors, etc), short quotes taken from books, etc. Most quotes will be short. Since I plan on selling copies of this book for a profit…..Can I legally use other peoples quotes in my book without violating any copyright issues or restrictions? What can I do legally?
