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

"Interestingly, koi, when put in a fish bowl, will only grow up to three inches.

When this same fish is placed in a largetank, it will grow to about nine inches long.

In a pond koican reach lengths of eighteen inches.

Amazingly, when placed in a lake, koi can grow to three feet long.

The metaphor is obvious. You are limited by how you see the world."

When you have light around you, everything will follow you. But when you enter the dark,even your own shadow will not follow you.

Winter came down to our home one night
Quietly pirouetting in on silvery-toed slippers of snow,
And we, we were children once again.
~Bill Morgan, Jr.

I've felt like a kid these past few days! Even in sunny FL, the temps got in the 20's!

Found this poem today by Percy Bysshe Shelley:

Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory -
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.
Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heaped for the beloved's bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.

I thought it was absolutely beautiful.

The happiest people don't neccesarily have the best of everything.
They just make the best of everything!

Life's a b*t+*. And damn! Life's too short. You gotta love life. And you gotta love your life. Because no one else will. Be good to others. But be better to yourself.... unknown

If you did a mistake doesn't mean that you are a mistake.
Don't curse yourself.

Knowing which way to turn gives you self confidence.
Taking a chance and going the opposite way gives you a chance to see what you are made of.
