Inspiring quotations
Posted by
Enjoying new foods, experiencing new cultures and traditions and thinking about things from different angles are some of the few things that I enjoy. I also enjoy reading and collecting inspirational quotes that inspire to me think about things in a new way. I thought it would be useful to list a few quotes that I like on this post and then add additional quotes as I find them. Feel free to add any of your favorite quotes.
“Be not the slave of your own past. Plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep and swim far, so you shall come back with self-respect, with new power, with an advanced experience…”
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
People who have attained things worth having in this
world have worked while others idled, have persevered
when others gave up in despair, have practiced early in
life the valuable habits of self-denial, industry, and
singleness of purpose. As a result, they enjoy later in life
the success so often erroneously attributed to good luck.
~Grenville Kleiser
“Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of your arm. . . . As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands. One is for helping yourself, the other for helping others.”
~ Audrey Hepburn

Just in case anyone thinks I am going for brownie points for the exercise contest here ; ) I am not.

Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.” Goethe;
I like that you have shown Boldness in a positive light. I grew up with the word, bold. As in, “Don’t be bold young lady!” Of course the bold of my youth referred to being fresh, talking back, perhaps voicing my view. My life would have been quite different had I been encouraged to “Be Bold”.
