Quotable quotes

    I started a blog about 2 months ago on "Inspiration" , shared it with some of my friends and was well received. This blog has evolved and I have quoted some famous people as well as some not so famous. A lot of these quotes align with my philosophy as a writer, which is basically helping others. L Ron Hubbard said:  "A being is only as valuable as he can serve others". I fully agree and thought that this would be the first quote I would bring you.

    In this fast paced world of the fastest jet, the fastest car, computer, etc., we strive to be as efficient as possible to gain that "edge" on the competition. But as we race in overdrive we may lose sight of some of the wonders that life has to offer and forget to pause and take a deep breath of its bouquet, tendered unpretentiously before us. Quotes are a wonderful way to take pause and "refuel" the spirit and savor life, even if only second hand. Quotes help us ponder our inner thoughts, get creative and many times remind us of things we already know. We are a lot smarter than we give ourselves credit for.

    Not every author or person is worthy of being quoted, some are just outright forgettable. Here I will quote only those famous authors, famous persons or regular Joes who have helped all of us when we've needed that "quick pick me up", or have helped to shape our lives as well as humanity.

    So bookmark this blog for now. I promise I will be adding some incredible content that will always leave you wanting more.

“Probably the most neglected friend you have is you. And yet every man, before he can be a true friend to the world, must first become a friend to himself.” L Ron Hubbard

"Happiness is the overcoming of not unknownable obstacles toward a known goal."
