10 Quotes That Made Me Think

So... I was reading my friend's blog.... **cough, Stacy, cough**... She reminded me of that TED Talk that I had mentioned in a previous blog and talked about how she had made her students do the "10 Things that I know are true" list as an assignment in her English class... I thought that was really cool and it got me thinking about blogging again... So, I decided to do another list for you all... It took me all afternoon to decide what my list would be, but I finally settled on this topic...

So.... Here they are... In no particular order... 10 quotes that really got me thinking...

  • "When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, until it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the time and place that the tide will turn." ---Harriet Beecher Stowe
  • "So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable." ---Christopher Reeve
  • "Being challenged in life is inevitable, being defeated is optional." ---Anonymous
  • "You must learn to walk to the edge of the light, and then a few steps into the darkness; then the light will appear and show the way before you." ---Harold B. Lee
  • "Things should be as simple as possible but not simpler." ---Albert Einstein
  • "Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new." ---Albert Einstein
  • "If you cant explain it simply you don't understand it well enough." ---Albert Einstein
  • "Life will knock us down, but we can choose to get back up." ---Jackie Chan (Karate Kid)
  • "I believe that everyone else my age is an adult whereas I am merely in disguise." ---Margaret Atwood
  • "If your day didn't include making someone smile, you're doing it wrong." ---Anonymous

 

That last one has become my favorite.... I like to think of it more as my main goal each day....
