Quotable quotes

Here's a quote, one of many I particularly like.

When I tell the truth, it is not for the sake of convincing those who do not know it, but for the sake of defending those that do.
By William Blake

I would love to add this quote, as well as many others to my 'sigline' but then it would get way too cluttery. :hypnotysed:


got a favorite quote?

I love this image! She is such a beautiful, strong older woman and the sentiment is so true. All of us here are blessed to be here to read it I think.

And I love the other sayings too. Sometimes, in a moment of crisis or quandary, a little phrase can make all the difference in ones perspective don't you think? And serendipity can put that little saved phrase in ones way just at the right moment!

I have a journal that I often write down things like these in and if it weren't packed, I'd be including a couple in for sure. Maybe I'll jot those that I like best down on a sticky note and tuck them into the book that I'm reading. Then when I find the journal, move them over. Thank you all for sharing them.

One of my favorites was in an Oprah magazine. Don't know the originator but let me see if I can remember word for word. " I was going through a time with way too much on my plate and my mother gave me something to think about. You can't eat the whole elephant. You can cut it into tiny pieces a bit at a time. But you can't eat the whole elephant whole. Something to consider when we're trying to take on the seemingly huge and impossible".
