You Can Quote Me

15 Comments/ 426/ 0

I love a good quote and I know a lot of my readers love to collect quotes as well. I have been trying to keep myself uplifted and sometimes it is just a matter of reading some good quotes that will help put me in the right frame of mind. Today I wanted to share just a a few that I have run across that make me happy. Enjoy and feel free to add one of your own in the comments.

“In the end we’ll all become stories.” Margaret Atwood

“If life were predictable it would cease to be life, and be without flavor.” – Eleanor Roosevelt

 “Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.”— Lao-Tze

“Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.” — Mark Twain

“As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.” —Audrey Hepburn

“You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.” —Mahatma Gandhi 

“I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really. Get busy living or get busy dying.” — Shawshank Redemption

“Keep looking up… that’s the secret of life.” Snoopy 

“Do stuff. Be clenched, curious. Not waiting for inspiration’s shove or society’s kiss on your forehead. Pay attention. It’s all about paying attention. Attention is vitality. It connects you with others. It makes you eager. Stay eager.” Susan Sontag

“The woman who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. The woman who walks alone is likely to find herself in places no one has been before. ” attributed to Albert Einstein but probably more likely from Francis Phillip Wernig (see link in comments)
