5 great quotes to power your day (and bounce back in life!)

September 19, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Once again, words of wisdom from ancient and current sages:

1. Annie Dillard

You do not have to sit outside in the dark. If, however, you want to look at the stars, you will find that darkness is necessary. But the stars neither require nor demand it.

2. Mark Twain

A thing long expected takes the form of the unexpected when at last it comes.

3. Helen Keller

I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.

4. Victor Hugo

Be like the bird, pausing in his flight

On limb too slight,

Feels it give way, yet sings,

Knowing he has wings.

5. Mary Ann Radmacher

Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying . . . “I will try again tomorrow.”
