Today I went quote hunting. I haven't done that in a long time, so it was nice. I think that its pretty odd that I collect quotes. I know some people collect quotes for people they know, but I collect them from anyone. mostly famous people. I had a book that was mostly full, but I lost it.
any way, hear are some of my favorites that I found today.
1)“A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.”
-C.S. Lewis
2)“This is one of the miracles of love: It gives a power of seeing through its own enchantments and yet not being disenchanted.”
-Ibid
3)“You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body.”
Ibid
4)“I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.”
-Abraham Lincoln
5)“Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.”
-Mark Twain
6)“If your daily life seems poor, do not blame it; blame yourself that you are not poet enough to call forth its riches; for the Creator, there is no poverty.”
-Rainer Maria Rilke
7)“How happy is the blameless Vestals lot! The world forgetting, by the world forgot. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! Each prayer accepted, and each wish resigned.”
-Alexander Pope
Oh how I love quotes! the only downside is that now it will take forever to put them all in my book... oh well.
I realized today that I picked up a habit from Jesse that use to annoy me to no end. When he had nothing to do, he would just pace the house and snap his fingers. It would annoy me. But now I do it , too. Oh the irony...
