Clearing out some of my dining table space where I write I came across some quotes I have “collected” over time and seem to have forgotten to put in my Quotes/Poems etc… page. So I decided to post a few here before I transfer them to my page.
After reading “15 Powerful lessons Learned from Life,” it can do that to you. Here are a few..
“Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.” – by Allan K Chalmers
“If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears.” – by Glenn Clark
“In every person who comes near you, look for what is good and strong; honour that; try to imitate it, and your faults will drop off like dead leaves when their time comes.” – John Ruskin
“Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain. An occasional glance towards the summit keeps the goal in mind, but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point.” -by Harold B Melchart
“Far away in the sunshine are my highest aspirations, I may not reach them, but I can look up and see the beauty, believe in them and try to follow where they lead.” -by Louisa May Alcott.

These are great and will be added to my list. Thnaks!
Your very welcome Darlene.
I love these quotes Diane.When my daughter was travelling on your side of the world I emailed her quotes everyday to get her to think before she did anything (worried mum) If I had had your blog then I wouldn’t have had to hunt for quotes.
LOL…. What a caring Mum you are. How long ago was it that your daughter visited the downunder?
Great Post! I especially like the one from Louisa May Alcott 🙂
Your very welcome Erik, and thankyou. 🙂
Wow, and they just happened to be in a pile on the table! If I had some more space I should like to paint some of those on a wall! They create powerful images and even more powerful feelings. Danke schoen!
Bitte schoen! 🙂 Yeah my table gets a bit messy sometimes and then when I get around to tidying it up, I find something I had meant to do ages ago….lol. Thankyou.
“Far away in the sunshine are my highest aspirations, I may not reach them, but I can look up and see the beauty, believe in them and try to follow where they lead.” -by Louisa May Alcott.
That’s one of my favorites too!
Glad you liked it Cathy 🙂
These are great quotes. My favourite I think is Glenn Clark’s
thankyou Linda, Glad you liked them.
Nice selection of quotes Diane. Think I resonated most with John Ruskin. Also liked Louisa May Alcott.
thankyou Pat, Those two are great aren’t they.
My favorite is the Ruskin quote, these are great, thanks!
Your very welcome Catherine.
LOVE the Glenn Clark quote!
Thanks Julie, one would just feel the weight lift….lol.
So many good ones here, Diane. 🙂 I love collecting quotes too–they give me something to ponder. They’re like nourishment for the mind. 😉
Thankyou Natalie…. yes I quite agree with you. Make you think, don’t they? Glad you stopped by, do call again.
