Quotation Saturday

Without freedom from the past, there is no freedom at all, because the mind is never new, fresh, innocent.
Krishnamurti

BOOKS

"Miss a meal if you have to, but don't miss a book."
-Jim Rohn

"Read an hour every day in your chosen field. This works out to about one book per week, 50 books per year, and will guarantee your success."
-Brian Tracy

"Read something positive every night and listen to something helpful every morning."
-Tom Hopkins


CHANGE

If you can touch people’s hearts, you can make change.
-Kris Kristofferson

Never be too proud to change.
-Bobby Bowden

Change is necessary to move forward; it’s not something you find in your pocket.
- Joni Zipp

FAITH

The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. Let us move forward with strong and active faith.”
-Franklin D. Roosevelt

“Work as if you were to live a hundred years. Pray as if you were to die tomorrow.”  

-Benjamin Franklin

“Fear of failure and fear of the unknown are always defeated by faith. Having faith in yourself, in the process of change, and in the new direction that change sets will reveal your own inner core of steel.”
-Georgette Mosbacher

CREATIVITY

“It is wonderful to be in on the creation of something, see it used, and then walk away and smile at it.” 

-Lady Bird Johnson

“Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes and having fun.” 

-Mary Lou Cook

“If we fail to nourish our souls, they wither, and without soul, life ceases to have meaning. The creative process shrivels in the absence of continual dialogue with the soul. And creativity is what makes life worth living.” 

-Marion Woodman

This one spoke to me:

"Miss a meal if you have to, but don't miss a book."
-Jim Rohn

Maybe because I'm getting ready to go to Ruby Tuesday to eat, write, and do some reading!

I liked that one too because I saw myself as I'm cooking dinner on the stove, I have a book that I'm reading on the table.
