I love to read quotes. I find them inspiring in life, in writing , in my weight loss challenge. The best thing about them is that anyone who reads them , can take them and apply them to whatever it is they’re struggling with.
Like this one from Helen Keller:
Character cannot be developed in ease & quiet.
Only through experience of trial & suffering
can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired,
& success achieved”
Now, I don’t hink she was talking about writing, but it can certainly apply to it. We authors like to joke about how our characters take over out minds, and sometienms it’s fun to torture them. We laugh about it because we know they’ll have a happy ending. But in life, we don’t always know there will be a happy ending.
Yet, the quote is inspirting in life too. To me anyway. What about you? Share an inspiring quote with me, and be entered to win a free eBook from my backlist!
KRIS is the WINNER of a free eBook!
Just email me your choice from my backlist Kris, (You can use the CONTACT button on my wensite) and I’ll send it right to you.
Thanks Everyone for the quotes! I love them.

One that I am trying to instill in my kids:
Happiness depends more on the inward disposition of mind than on outward circumstances.

One of my favorites..and so true:
The three hardest tasks in the world are neither physical feats nor intellectual achievements, but moral acts: to return love for hate, to include the excluded, and to say, “I was wrong”.

LLL~ I like that. It’s very similar to “The key to happiness is wanting what you have, not having what you want. ” :mrgreen:
That is so very true, Angie. Good One!

This is one of my favorites. It is a little bit flippant but that is why I like it.
Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination.
