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."

Here's one that I latched onto when I was a teenager and really liked.
There are a number of variations for it. I have no idea where it originated.
Do not walk in front of me, I may not follow. Do not walk behind me, I may not lead. Walk beside me and be my friend.
Do not walk in front of me, I may not follow; do not walk behind me, I don't lead, walk beside me and be my friend.
Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow Don't walk behind me, I may not lead Just walk beside me and be my friend Together we will walk along in harmony.
"the only stupid questions are the ones that never get asked"
i am an administrator on a bird website with members from all over the world,
however when first joiining the people that dont have much experience of birds are always to afraid to ask questions as they think of them as stupid or they dont want to be seen to ask a stupid obvious question,
in my oppinion an answer is only obvious if the person knows the information, to somebody who wants help and doesnt know, if they dont ask they never will know,
i always tell them that no matter how big or small or how stupid a question may seem to them, that the only stupid questions are the ones that never get asked...
if you dont ask you dont get the answer and it is better to ask a question than not know the answer..and may cause something to go wrong,
i will answer any question i know the answer to and encourage anybody else to do the same, as what seems stupid to one person is quite often not...
if you want to know something and do not ask the question then in my eyes , it is stupid not to ask for help or guidance in order to solve the problem,
Watched The Little Black Book this weekend... love that movie.
Stacy: I believe we write our own stories. And each time we think we know the end - we don't. Perhaps luck exists somewhere between the world of planning, the world of chance, and in peace that comes from knowing that you just can't know it all. You know, life's funny that way. Once you let go of the wheel, you might end up right where you belong.
You must weed your mind as you would weed your garden. ~Astrid Alauda
Beware the fury of a patient man. ~John Dryden, Absolam and Achitophel, 1680
The ear tends to be lazy, craves the familiar, and is shocked by the unexpected: the eye, on the other hand, tends to be impatient, craves the novel and is bored by repetition. ~W.H. Auden, The Dyer's Hand
Today I'm quoting The Mummy - one of my all-time favorite movies... not actually sure WHY these quotes were in my head today... but for what its worth!
Dr. Bey: [stutters in disbelief] Oh look at this! Sons of the pharaohs! Give me frogs! Flies, locusts! Anything but you. Compared to you the other plagues were a joy! Evelyn: I am so very sorry it was an accident. Dr. Bey: My darling girl, when Ramses destroyed Syria, that was an accident. You are a catastrophe!

Evelyn: Look, I... I may not be an explorer, or an adventurer, or a treasure-seeker, or a gunfighter, Mr. O'Connell, but I am proud of what I am. Rick: And what is that? Evelyn: I... am a librarian. (In my case.... "I.... am a Historian")
A grandfather is someone with silver in his hair and gold in his heart. ~Author Unknown
The best place to be when you're sad is Grandpa's lap. ~Author Unknown
The history of our grandparents is remembered not with rose petals but in the laughter and tears of their children and their children's children. It is into us that the lives of grandparents have gone. It is in us that their history becomes a future. ~Charles and Ann Morse
