WORDS TO LIVE BY

I am not beautiful, nor am I smart. As you can tell from that statement, I'm not particularly confident either. What I am is a listener, a learner, a collector of wisdom. These quotations make me smile, and get me going again when I run dry. If you'll share yours with us, I'd like to post them here and give you credit for sending them. I believe sharing inspiration is sharing love.

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us."
Ralph Waldo Emerson

"The biggest sin is sitting on your ass."
Florynce Kennedy

"Genius only means an infinite capacity for taking pains."
Janice Ellice Hopkins

"In time your relatives will come to accept the idea that a career is as important to you as your family. Of course, in time the polar ice cap will melt."
Barbara Dale

"Clear your mind of can't."
Samuel Johnson

"Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there."
Arthur Godfrey

"If the only prayer you say in your life is 'Thank you', that would be enough."
Meister Eckhart

"The best way to hold a man is in your arms."
Mae West
(That last has nothing to do with inspiration; I just really like it, don't you?)
