"Writers love quotations. They love quoting someone else's work
almost as much as they love quoting their own."

Yes, I love quotations and have several journals where I write down words of others. Quotes have the ability to make you stop and think. They touched your heart, prompt you to think and inspire you.
The other day I read the following quotes from one of my journals and decided to share them with you.
"If, like the lake that has the boon of cradling the little moon above the hill, I want the Infinite to be reflected undisturbed in me, I must be still." Edna Becker
"Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." Berthold Auerbach, 1812-1882
"The woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those who sang best." Unknown
"It rained so hard that all the pigs got clean, and all the people dirty." Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, 1742-1799
"The heart has eyes that the brain knows nothing of." Charles Henry Parkhurst, 1842-1933
"The insight that relates us to God arises from purity of heart, not from clearness of intellect." Oswald Chambers, 1874-1917
"Little strokes fell great oaks." Benjamin Franklin, 1706-1790
"The Word of God hidden in the heart is a stubborn voice to suppress." Billy Graham
"On your knees you are taller than trees." Jan Beck
"As the years pass, I am coming more and more to understand that it is the common, everyday blessings of our common, everyday lives for which we should be particularly grateful. They are the things that fill our lives with comfort and our hearts with gladness." Laura Ingalls Wilder
"Wrong, wrong, wrong will never be right, right, right." Ann Platz
"It ain't those parts of the Bible that I can't understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand." Mark Twain, 1835-1899
"All work done for God is spiritual work and therefore not merely a duty but a holy privilige." Elisabeth Elliot
"A thousand words will not leave so deep an impression as one deed." Henrik Ibsen, 1828-1906
"God is looking for people to use, and if you can get usable, He will wear you out." Rick Warren
"The person with a talent they are meant to use will find their greatest happiness in using it." Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
"Is any pleasure on earth as great as a circle of Christian friends by a fire." C. S. Lewis
"A home with a little dust and a lot of laughter will win the heart of God every time! Karla Dornacher
" . . . and if you write to others sharing the good news of salvation, your letters just might mingle souls for eternity." Lyn Morrissey
These were taken from my 2008 - 2009 journal. Still relevant today. Be someone who reads for the purpose of learning, being encouraged, being inspired, being convicted and being blessed.
