A Splash of Magnificent Glory
As you know, I love to collect quotes that I find inspiring, motivating, and food for thought. Words to enrich our lives and perhaps guide us in new and exciting directions. I keep a special notebook and add words of wisdom as I come across them. As I've been doing this for years, needless to say the notebook is becoming quite a fat little treasure trove. I have shared a few of these gems in the three years that I have been writing this Blog, and decided that it was time to be generous once again.
Here are the latest from my treasury of interesting quotations:
"Each of us is a limited edition, special and unique in our own ways. We brighten the universe for a planetary moment, enlightening the world with rare and precious gifts. Wrapped in brilliance - a splash of magnificent glory released in slow motion. We are passion lit from within, a living journey seeking and giving light." Cheryl Cholar
"To be of value, expressions of appreciation must be continually renewed." Sheree Parris Nudd
"Eliminate your negative qualities. Develop your positive ones. You can't win with the checkmark in the wrong place." M. Winnetter
"Passionate people get things done. Passion for doing what you're called to do resonates in every fiber of a true leader. Passion shows. Passionate people energize other people and build enthusiasm. And as you surely know, enthusiasm is contagious." Leonard H. Roberts
"No matter what you're going through, it pays to be patient, understanding, and kind. We all know what bad days are like. Never let your actions be the cloud that darkens someone else's day." Pat Williams
"All things are connected. Whatever befalls the Earth befalls the sons of the earth. Man did not weave the web of life; he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself." Ted Perry
"May your life be all fairways and greens." Bob Hope

here's a few of my favourite:
"Everybody is a genius. But, if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will spend its whole life believing that it is stupid." (Albert Einstein)
"People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost." (Dalai Lama)
"Everything passes, but nothing entirely goes away." (Jenny Diski)
"The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of because words diminish your feelings - words shrink things that seem timeless when they are in your head to no more than living size when they are brought out." (Stephen King)
"Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal... from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery — celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from — it’s where you take them to." (Jim Jarmush)
