Quotes To Live By
It’s February 1, and I’m still accumulating some inspirational quotes by which to live my year. I’ll share a few of my favorites here:
“Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts.” Daniel Patrick Moynihan
“Being Irish, he had an abiding sense of tragedy which sustained him through brief periods of joy.” Yeats
“I don’t have much time left. Please don’t try to suck it out of me.” Anon
“Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.” Winston Churchill
“The chief cause of failure and unhappiness is trading what we want most for what we want at the moment.” Anon
“What you want is practice, practice, practice. It doesn’t matter what we write (at least this is my view) at our age, as long as we write continually as well as we can. I feel that every time I write a page either of prose or of verse, with real effort, even if it’s thrown into the fire the next minute, I am so much further on.” C.S. Lewis
“Fate finds persistence irresistable.” Unknown
“The best advice on writing I’ve ever received: Finish.” Peter Mayle
“A hunch is creativity trying to tell you something.” Frank Capra
“Everything comes to those who hustle while they wait.” Thomas Edison
“Few people do what they want to do in life. Be one of them.” Andy Broer
“When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and could say ‘I used everything You gave me.’” Erma Bombeck
“I spend half my time doing my stuff. I spend the other half of my time making sure I’m not doing your stuff.” Anon
“When you have got a thing where you want it, it is a good thing to leave it where it is.” Winston Churchill
And finally, just to see if you’re still tracking with me:
“You’ll never make up for with speed what you lack in direction.” Katy McKenna Raymond
And this:
“How about something from the cheese family?” Doug Raymond
