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."

“If someone is too tired to give you a smile, leave one of your own, because no one needs a smile as much as those who have none to give.”
“It's possible to forget how alive we really are. We can become dry and tired, just existing, instead of really living. We need to remind ourselves of the juice of life, and make that a habit. Find those places inside that jump for joy, and do things”
“Though patience be a tired mare, yet she will plod.” (Shakespeare)
Yes, my friends, I'm tired today. Tired of surviving, tired of singing, tired of standing. Tired of smiling when I don't feel like it, tired of being strong, tired of trying to move on. I'm just simply tired. I'm going home for the weekend, to curl up in my canopy bed and let my Mom pamper me. When I return, I'll be ready to face another countless days of standing, surviving, and being strong, but I'm going to allow myself to be weak this weekend. To be weak and just be me. There is just so much going on in my head these days - relationship unknowns, family heartaches, job frustrations, personal struggles - that I'm just ready to rest. Ready to put down my sword and sit under my shield for a while, letting the battle wage around me. I'm simply tired.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think.
-Horace Walpole (1717 - 1797)
Love is not blind - it sees more, not less. But because it sees more, it is willing to see less. -Rabbi Julius Gordon
But when a young lady is to be a heroine, the perverseness of forty surrounding families cannot prevent her. Something must and will happen to throw a hero in her way.
-Jane Austen
~ Trying to forget someone you love is like trying to remember someone you never knew.
~ I dont miss him, I miss who I thought he was
~ I’m going to smile and make you think I’m happy, I’m going to laugh, so you don’t see me cry, I’m going to let you go in style, and even if it kills me- I’m going to smile.
~ There's a girl in my mirror crying tonight, and there's nothing I can say to make her feel alright.

I liked the above.
Here are some more I like...
"Don't seek anything other than contentment, because therein is the bliss and the comfort of your body. Then consider the case of a person who possesses the whole world, can he take with him in the grave more than cotton and a shroud?"
- A poet
"The hallmark of courage in our age of conformity is the capacity to stand on one's own convictions--not obstinately or defiantly (these are gestures of defensiveness, not courage) nor as a gesture of retaliation, but simply because these are what one believes."-Rollo May
"Truth is Timeless, and returning to Truth is better than continuing in Falsehood."
- Umar ibn al-Khattab (radiAllahu anhu)
"You've got to stand on your own two feet. Even when you don't think your strong enough. You've got the strength God gave all women to survive. You just have to tap into it."
