I've been compiling a bunch of quotes from old journals. Here are a few of my favorites:
"Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else." - Judy Garland
"It is no special blessing to come to the end of life with love unshared, selves ungiven, activities unactivated, deeds undone, emotions unextended." - Reuben Welch
"We want to save ourselves and keep ourselves and hold ourselves back as though the highest goal in life would be to look good in our caskets." - Reuben Welch
"Honesty makes us real in a world of pretend." - Anonymous
"What is life? It is a flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is as the little shadow that runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset." - Chief Crowfoot
"We cannot do everything at once, but we can do something at once." - Calvin Coolidge
"Joy is the heart's harmonius response to the Lord's song of love." - AW Tozer
"Faith makes all things possible. Hope makes all things bright. Love makes all things easy." - Anonymous
"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." - Anais Nin
"One may walk over the highest mountain one step at a time." - John Wanamaker
"Never fear shadows. They simply mean there's a light shining somewhere." - Ruth Renkel
"Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul.
And sings the tune
Without the words,
and never stops at all. " - Dickinson
"Be not the slave of your own past. Plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep and swim far, so you shall come back with self-respect, with new power, with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old." - Ralph Waldo Emerson (this one has been very important lately)
Leave me a comment explaining which one you like best (and why, if applicable).
