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

You can get more done with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone. Willie Sutton - Bank Robber

Wealth is the means, and people are the ends. All our material riches will avail us little if we do not use them to expand the opportunities of our people. John F. Kennedy, State of the Union Message, Jan 11, 1962

O God, give us serenity to accept what cannot be changed, courage to change what should be changed, and wisdom to distinguish the one from the other. Reinhold Neibuhr, 1934

Money isn’t the root of evil, nor is the love of money. The root of all evil is democratic capitalism, whereby power and greed are in abundance. Author Unknown

Some believe that sound thinking is a term used to describe the mental activities of those who agree with us - author unknown

As soon as men decide that all means are permitted to fight an evil, then their good becomes indistinguishable from the evil that they set out to destroy. - The Judgment of the Nations, Christopher Dawson

When you earnestly believe you can compensate for a lack of skill by doubling your efforts, there's no end to what you cannot do.

How old would you be if you didn't know?

For me, that number changes a couple times a day!

"I believe in the sun, even when it is not shining. I believe in love, even when I don't feel it. I believe in God, even when there is silence." -Words scratched on the walls of a cellar in Cologne, Germany by a Jew hiding from Nazi persecution.
