Rep Power: 2 Rep.: 933 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: Inspirational Quotes I like these ones: " If you haven't made any mistakes recently, you must be doing something wrong" "Keep smiling - it makes people wonder what you have been up to ""Always do sober what you said you would do drunk. That'll teach you to keep your mouth shut." “ The greatness comes not when things go always good for you. But the greatness comes when you’re really tested, when you take some knocks, some disappointments, when sadness comes. Because only if you’ve been in the deepest valley can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.” Richard Nixon

(there's rep in it for whoever does... )As for inspirational quotes... my sig carries my favourites. P.S. Did you know there is more than one stanza in The Prayer of Serenity?!?

Rep Power: 2 Rep.: 729 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: Inspirational Quotes Here you go CJ, The Invitation It doesn't interest me what you do for a living I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing. It doesn't interest me how old you are I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love for your dreams for the adventure of being alive. It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon... I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain. I want to know if you can sit with pain mine or your own without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it. I want to know if you can be with joy mine or your own if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful be realistic to remember the limitations of being human. It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself. If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy. I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not pretty every day. And if you can source your own life from its presence. I want to know if you can live with failure yours and mine and still stand on the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, "Yes." It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up after a night of grief and despair weary and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done to feed the children. It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back. It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away. I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments. Hope it is the one you mentioned..

If I could tell the world just one thing It would be that we're all OK And not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful And useless in times like these I won't be made useless I won't be idle with despair I will gather myself around my faith For light does the darkness most fear My hands are small, I know But they're not yours, they are my own But they're not yours, they are my own And I am never broken Poverty stole your golden shoes It didn't steal your laughter And heartache came to visit me But I knew it wasn't ever after We'll fight, not out of spite For someone must stand up for what's right 'Cause where there's a man who has no voice There ours shall go singing Hands - Jewel |

Blog Entries: 2 Rep Power: 2 Rep.: 560 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: Inspirational Quotes Ooo, good thread! I love these kind of quotes. Here are a few of my favourites: I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it. I was normal once. I didn't like it. Whatever women do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily this is not difficult. - Charlotte Whitton Life is like the mail; sometimes you just don't get it. My old choir's motto: "If you can talk, you can sing. If you can walk, you can dance." - - African Proverb Also found these: When you dance, you don't sweat: you glow. -- Didi Any problem in the world can be solved by dancing. — James Brown Good to know!

Rep Power: 2 Rep.: 368 ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: Inspirational Quotes Here's another few of mine: "Do not fear death so much, but rather the inadequate life." And on a lighter note: "If at first you don't succeed, try to hide your astonishment!" "When a true genius comes among you, you shall know him by this sign. All the dunces of the World will be in confederacy against him."

Rep Power: 2 Rep.: 368 ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: Inspirational Quotes Quote:
Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the path to peace; Taking this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that God will make all things right if I surrender to His will. That I may be reasonably happy in this life, and supremely happy with Him forever in the next.
