Even the Good Book tells us that the power of life and death exists in the tongue.
As writers we are keenly aware that the thoughts we share in public forums have the power to educate, entertain, inspire, and sometimes serve as a catalyst for important change.
With this in mind, today`s post captures some of my favorite quotes. While a few are actually gems I uncovered in my recent readings.
Perhaps you'll find one that helps to cope with a chaotic week, or one that can be used as a creative prompt for an expanded piece.
Please note: Due to a broken computer, I am posting this via my new Tablet received as a gift.
I apologize in advance for any formatting issues or irregularities; I hope to be back on track soon...Thanks for your patience and your readership.
Have a great week ahead.

Jennifer--I knew a quilter who used to say, "If you're green, you're growing." If we make mistakes, if we keep taking risks, that means we're stretching, we're branching out, we're increasing our skills.
ReplyDeleteAnd that is a good thing...
So true! Thanks, Sioux.
DeleteThomas Edison encountered many failures in his attempt to make the lightbulb. Instead of giving up, he used his experiences to learn what didn't work and moved forward.
ReplyDeleteMay we all have that kind of perseverance.
I am certainly in need of a little more. Lovely to hear from you today, Susan. :-)
DeleteI remember my mother saying,"Did you learn anything ?" after I was in trouble for doing something she thought I shouldn't have.A friend of mine asked her children, "What did you learn?" Sometimes the best lessons we learn are what we experience when we make mistakes.
ReplyDeleteGreat feedback. Thanks so much. Hope all is well. :-)
DeleteThanks for those quotes Jennifer, the first quote reminds me of a poster I once saw with on it an Image of an empty wheel chair on the top of a mountain, and a flying man hanging under
ReplyDeletea hang glider.
Although I don't think that that such an image doesn't in particular needs to be about actual revenge, it sure does paint a strong image of somebody that's thinking in solutions
instead of in obstacles.
It's true that a picture can paint a thousand words, right? :-) I appreciate you adding to the mix here, H.P.
DeleteGreat quotes, Jen. Especially the one about faith. Hope you're reunited with your computer soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sue. Things are looking up already. :-)
DeleteThese are wonderful, Jen. Thanks for sharing. I'm inspired!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the tablet. I received one as a gift a while back and use it a whole lot more than I ever imagined. Hope you do too.
Have a great rest of the week! :)
You have one too? I'm always late to the party. LOL
DeleteSo far, it's pretty neat. Thanks for chiming in here. :-)
