Quotes that have influenced your life

Hello all! I've been abundantly blessed by my virtual coffee chats with so many of you in this wonderful forum on Books and Literature! (The Relationship forum is fun too, but this is where inspiration comes from... "the stuff dreams are made of" )

Anyways... We all have favorite quotes, quotes that have touched a chord in our hearts and minds, quotes that have influenced our decisions, inspired us to go that extra mile, give us courage to face the day, and shown us what real living is like.

Lets share these divine inspirations with our little world here - on this little posting. I'll start with one of my all-time favorites....

Being a star-gazer myself and being the proud owner of a tempestuous personal history, this is one of my favorites - it reminds me that no matter what is swirling around me at a given time, I can get through it.

"The most tempestuous wind cannot disturb the quiet of the stars."

Literary wishes and Shakespearean dreams,
HistorianChick

Awesome exhortation, Jolie... had to spread the love, or else I'd give you a greenie for it.

Very true.

The Naughty Naughty Naughty man my Father-in-law was contributed these remarkable quotes during his lifetime:

1) She sits among the lima beans and peas

2) I can't get over a girl like you, so get up and close the window

3) Wanna play Pearl Harbor? Go to sleep and I'll attack you.

The rest are too naughty to share - He was a naughty man and litearlly chased me around the house.

I miss my Pops

Crud, I'm in another mood.... This whole "being an emotional woman" thing really stinks at times!


"Wanting him is hard to forget, loving him is hard to regret, losing him is hard to accept, but even with all the hurt I've felt, letting go is the most painful yet."


"Sometime you just have to hold your head up high, blink away the tears and say good-bye."


"You didn't intentionally break my heart, you even said you were sorry, but I cried anyway... I know the truth that you're too scared to admit, you're with her, but when you look at me, you can't even remember her name..."


"I cried today... not because I miss you... or even wanted you... but because I realized I'm gonna be all right without you."


"So... from now on... when you think of me... just remember that I could've been the best thing you ever had."


And that, my friends, is the scope of my emotions this morning.... what a ride, eh?

CaptainRich agrees: Wow.... sometimes there is a tiny stream, sometimes a torrential flood.

Ok, I'm going to put a lot of A Day To Remember quotes on here

"I gave you everything I had, until I had nothing left. Now you act as if I'm just a burden.
I've finally let go."

"Don't threaten me with what you think I feel.
If you could read my mind you'd be in tears."

"All I ever wanted to be was be the one who would wipe those tears from your eyes"

"You'll tell me that you care, and then run straight back to him"

That's just from one song ha ha

That's why I listen to them when I'm at my other job, because I get so angry over how she walked away from everything I don't even let sadness show.

But you know, even on this insane emotional roller-coaster I am reminded that I choose the way I live each moment. I choose to feel sad, wounded, upset, and angry or I choose to feel content, resolved, beautiful, and yes, happy.

So, today I have chosen to get off this emotional roller coaster and take a ride on that delightful porch swing... the swing on which I can sit and watch the sunset while reflecting on the amazing blessings of my life.

I'm reveling in my beautiful moments.

HC, is the following an original? You have your sig of "Don't sell yourself short," etc. as an original. But I wasn't sure about this one. If I ever use it, just want to credit it to the writer.


Always remind me that my tears have made my rainbow.
My failures, my heartaches, my mistakes have made my rainbow. My beautiful reminder of grace. My promise in the storm.

I read "my tears have made my rainbow" and went from there...

So yes, it is partially original. The concept inspired me.

Thanks for that kudos! It makes me smile when things I write touch hearts.
