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?

I work with a nonprofit youth leadership organization. I’d like to produce and sell a CD with recorded readings of inspirational passages from famous people. The sales would benefit the nonprofit. Would royalties apply, or is material available that is in the public domain?
