Q is for Quotes!!!
I love a good quote. I love them so much I have an entire page dedicated to them on this site. See the quotes link above?
Sometimes it is hard to put our own feelings and emotions into words. In those cases a good quote can get the job done. That’s why the greeting card industry is always popping. Other times it’s not so much about using a quote to describe how we feel but using it instead as a source of inspiration or encouragements.
My Favorite Quote:
“Remember this, humans are not defined by their limitations, but by the intentions that I (God) have for them; not by what they seem to be, but by everything it means to be created in my (God’s) image” ~ William P. Young, The Shack.
You can find a quote for almost any occasion.
Missed Opportunities – “When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.” ~ Helen Keller
Encouragement – “Use your talent (everybody has one) in anyway you can. Don’t keep it for yourself like a miser – spend it like a millionaire!” ~ Lucy MacDonald
When other’s don’t believe in you – ”The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.” ~ unknown
Decision Making – “As you become more clear about who you really are, you’ll be better able to decide what is best for you – the first time around.” Oprah Winfrey
Life Change – “Courage is the power to let go of the familiar.” ~ Raymond Lindquist
Persistence – “Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, “I will try again tomorrow.” ~ Mary Anne Radmache
Going against the crowd – “It takes more courage to reveal insecurities than to hide them, more strength to relate to people than to dominate them, more ‘manhood’ to abide by thought-out principles rather than blind reflex. Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in muscles and an immature mind.” ~ Alex Karras
Happiness – “Being happy doesn’t mean that everything is perfect. It means that you’ve decided to look beyond the imperfections.” ~ unknown
Friendships – “Find people who will make you better.” ~ Michelle Obama
Anger – “You can live your life angry, bitter, mad at somebody or even guilty, not letting go of your own mistakes, but you won’t receive the good things God has in store.” ~ Joel Osteen
