I've always been a big fan of quotes. They're like motivational "quickies" that move us forward, or minimally cause needed reflection. Not to mention, for writers they provide an array of creative possibilities--as writing prompts, poetry slants, contest guidelines, etc.
Today I'll share some of my favorite, and some that are just darn interesting in nature. :-) And what better way to start the week?
"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." Dr. Martin Luther King
"A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs. It's jolted by every pebble on the road." Henry Ward Beecher
"Sometimes God will shake you up to move you forward."
Jennifer Brown Banks
"Peace is its own reward." Monhandas Gandhi
"There's never a "good reason" for spreading bad gossip."
Jennifer Brown Banks
There is no where you can go and only be with people who are like you. Give it up." Bernice Johnson Reagon
"If you are not leaning, no one will ever let you down." Dr. Robert Anthony
"Every exit is an entry somewhere else." Tom Stoppard
"It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all."
"We teach people how to treat us by the things we accept." Dr. Phil
