My compendium of unusual quotes

Just a few quotes I've come across that have influenced me one way or the other
________________________________________

If there must be trouble let it be my day, that my child may have peace --- Thomas Paine

An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to to spend time with his fools --- Ernest Hemmingway

I sweat. If anything comes easy to me, I mistrust it--- Lilli Palmer

Everyone needs to carry out his own personal revolution: Georgios Papandreou

The reason why we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind the scenes with everyone else’s highlight reel.
Stephen Furtick

You don’t drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
Edwin Louis Cole

don’t count my sit-ups. I only start counting when it starts hurting. That is when I start counting, because then it really counts. That’s what makes you a champion.”l
Muhammad Ali

Books can be dangerous. The best ones should be labeled “This could change your life.
Helen Exley

I’ve come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy.
Anthony Robbins

I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity. 
Gilda Radner

Books say: She did this because. Life says: She did this. Books are where things are explained to you; life is where things aren’t. I’m not surprised some people prefer books.
Julian Barnes

When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.
 Paulo Coelho


Stay Victorious!!!
