After years of having an older version of the iPod touch, with older software, I can finally download new Apps. It's so very exciting!
I just got one called Quotes.
I like different quotes as they really help me think more outside of my little sphere.
Thus far I have a few favorites and I thought to share them with you!
Ability
"Never tell a young person that anything cannot be done. God may have been waiting centuries for someone ignorant enough of the impossible to do that very thing." John Andrew Holmes
Achievement
"Out of the strain of doing and into the peace of the done." Julia Woodruff
"The three great essentials to achieve anything worth while are, first, hard work; second, stick-to-itiveness; third, common sense." Thomas Edison
Addiction
"For many, negative thinking is a habit, which over time, becomes an addiction... A lot of people suffer from this disease because negative thinking is addictive to each of the Big Three – the mind, the body, and the emotions. If one doesn't get you, the others are waiting in the wings." Peter McWilliams
Adversity
"You'll never find a better sparring partner than adversity." Walt Schmidt

Ambition

"When you go in search of honey you must expect to be stung by bees." Kenneth Kaunda
Arts
"Art for art's sake? I should think so, and more so than ever at the present time. It is the one orderly product which our middling race has produced. It is the cry of a thousand sentinels, the echo from a thousand labyrinths, it is the lighthouse which cannot be hidden... it is the best evidence we can have of our dignity." Edward M. Forster
Attitude
"There is more than a verbal tie between the words common, community, and communication. ... Try the experiment of communicating, with fullness and accuracy, some experience to another, especially if it be somewhat complicated, and you will find your own attitude toward your experience changing." John Dewey
"There are two types of people – those who come into a room and say, Well, here I am! and those who come in and say, Ah, there you are." Frederick L. Collins
Beauty
"No; we have been as usual asking the wrong question. It does not matter a hoot what the mockingbird on the chimney is singing. The real and proper question is: Why is it beautiful?" Annie Dillard
"Remember if you marry for beauty, thou bindest thyself for all thy life for that which perchance, will neither last nor please thee one year: and when thou hast it, it will be to thee of no price at all." Sir Walter Raleigh
BreakUp
"Is a life worth living, without no one to love and to be loved in return?" Zena Joy Pym
"The ones that you love the most are usually the ones that hurt you the most." Kati Tgj
Business
"When two men in business always agree, one of them is unnecessary." William Wrigley
Change
"Some people change their ways when they see the light, others when they feel the heat." Caroline Schoeder
Children
"We cannot always build the future of our youth, but we can build our youth for the future." Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Education
"The whole world opened for me when I learned to read." Mary McLeod Bethune
Graduation
"Use what talents you possess. The woods would be very silent if no birds sang there, except those that sang best." Unknown
"When you leave here, don't forget why you came." Adlai Stevenson
Humor
"The nicest thing for me is sleep, then at least I can dream." Marilyn Monroe
"A good marriage is like a casserole, only those responsible for it really knows what goes in it." Anonymous
Imagination
"Image creates desire. You will what you imagine." J. G. Gallimore
"Creativity represents a miraculous coming together of the uninhibited energy of the child with its apparent opposite and enemy, the sense of order imposed on the disciplined adult intelligence." Norman Podhoretz
"Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire; you will what you imagine; and last you create what you will." George Bernard Shaw
Inspirational
"When you make a mistake, don't look back at it long. Take the reason of the thing into your mind, and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power." Phyllis Bottome
"Chance favors only the prepared mind." Louis Pasteur
Laughter1
"Laughter is a highly addictive positive contagious: if somebody starts, it's very difficult to stop." Robert Holden
Music
"It has never occurred to me before that music and thinking are so much alike. In fact you could say music is another way of thinking, or maybe thinking is another kind of music." Ursula K. Le Guin
Other

Patriotic
"How I wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of goodwill! In such a place even I would be an ardent patriot." Albert Einstein
Success
"You have to persevere. You have to do it. I have insecurities. But whatever I'm insecure about I don't dissect it, but I'll go after it and say, 'What am I afraid of?' I bet the average successful person can tell you they've failed so much more than they've had successes. With every commercial I've gotten, there were 200 I didn't get. You have to go after what you're afraid of." Kevin Sorbo
"Successful people are not gifted; they just work hard then succeed on purpose." G. K. Nielson
War
"I give myself to war so that they outcome for one person may be different." Sjoholm
"I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity." Dwight D. Eisenhower
Wisdom
"Emptiness is a symptom that you are not living creatively. You either have no goal that is important enough to you, or you are not using your talents and efforts in striving toward an important goal." Maxwell Maltz
"You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions." Mahfouz Naguib
