Welcome to my quotes page.Here I list many of my favorite quotes. I collect them. I keep them in a database. I print some of them up and put them on my walls. I find they help me to support myself. They are very empowering usually. I hope you enjoy. "You are too close to heaven to give up and slip back into hell." -Steve L. "There are moments when things go well and one feels overwhelmed. But it's senseless to speak of optimism or pessimism. The only important thing is to know that if one works well in a potato field, the potatoes will grow. If one works well among men, they will grow- That's reality. The rest is smoke. It's important to know that words don't move mountains. Work, exacting work, moves mountains..." -Danilo Dolci "Almost anything you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do...." -Gandhi "Happiness is not a string of miscellaneous adventures or experiences but and attitude.

Strength: From a timid, shy girl I had become a woman of resolute character, who could no longer be frightened by the struggle with troubles." -thank you Maxine! "When spider webs unite, they can tie up a lion." -A. Dostoevsky "The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do! It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company... a church.. a home. The remarkable thing is that you have a choice everyday regarding the attitude you will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past....we cannot change the inevitable....the only thing that we can do is play on the one string that we do have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me, and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you.... you are in charge of your attitudes." -Author Unknown "Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are stiffened." -Author Unknown "Every child is an artist. The problem is to remain an artist once you grow up." -Pablo Picasso In every real man (or woman) a child is hidden that wants to play." -Freidrich Nietzsche "To live is an awfully big adventure.:" -Peter Pan "...he who finds himself loses his misery." -Matthew Arnold "When a woman begins to be aware of the divine spark within, she will soon be faced with the decision whether to honor and trust it.... She is so accustomed to looking outside of herself for authority that the realization of God within is radical and shattering. It changes everything." -Wendlyn Alter "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is tat we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." -Nelson Mandela "Courage is the complement of fear. A man who is fearless can not be courageous. (He is also a fool!)" -Author Unknown "You're only human; you're supposed to make mistakes." -Billy Joel "It is possible to be different and still be right." -Anne Wilson Schaef "Be excellent to each other." -Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure.
