I need your help with something!! ;) And...you could get famous! :D haha jk (Well...maybe.)
I am starting a Quotes Collection Book. (You know how I love quotes ;) And I am collecting quotes/sayings/poems, etc. from friends, family - anyone who wants to submit one!! Just comment with the quote and author's name (it could even be self-written!) and...I may choose to include it in my collection. :)
Thank you! Can't wait to see everything you submit!!
Oh, and for today's 'A new favorite quote!', here is a poem written by a very, very dear friend of mine: Anna T.
A weakness of mine,
so deep in my bones,
so stuck on my flesh,
so rooted in my heart-
is that of which fear is kin.
Ne’er can I shake, by my own strength, though try as I might
till my body writhes and my breath is short.
Unceasing and increasing.
A relentless, kindling flame in my depths.
Nothing can remedy-no one can truly comfort but One.
He is my only rescue from this terrible feel;
rescue that I may trust with my whole.
He is the eagle’s wings that blankets my worry-that covers my head.
Warm feathers succumb the hated flame in me.
Do not think of tomorrow-do not think of tomorrow;
He is there.
so deep in my bones,
so stuck on my flesh,
so rooted in my heart-
is that of which fear is kin.
Ne’er can I shake, by my own strength, though try as I might
till my body writhes and my breath is short.
Unceasing and increasing.
A relentless, kindling flame in my depths.
Nothing can remedy-no one can truly comfort but One.
He is my only rescue from this terrible feel;
rescue that I may trust with my whole.
He is the eagle’s wings that blankets my worry-that covers my head.
Warm feathers succumb the hated flame in me.
Do not think of tomorrow-do not think of tomorrow;
He is there.

{pee ess: i actually had an idea similar to this, it would be to write a notebook full of all the sayings i came up with, and then i'd look at it again when i was married and stuff. this is so cool!!}
I love collecting quotes too! :) Here are a selection of my favourite quotes:
"Be the change that you wish to see in the world."
Mahatma Gandhi
"But smiles and tears are so alike with me, they are neither of them confined to any particular feelings: I often cry when I am happy, and smile when I am sad."
Anne Bronte, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall
"I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what."
Atticus Finch in Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird
"Differences are not intended to separate, to alienate. We are different precisely in order to realize our need of one another."

"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken."
Oscar Wilde
"It is our choices, Harry, that show us what we truly are, far more than our abilities."
J.K.Rowling
"It is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the submerged truth sometimes makes its way to the surface."

I love quotes too, and I always enjoy reading your new ones :)
One of my favorites is by Dr. Ben Carson: "The mind, once stretched by an idea, never returns to it's original dimensions". And I also like the concept behind the phrase, "Your loyalty will define your actions and your actions will define your loyalty"(by me - had to write an English paper on that!)
great job with your blog, btw... always fun and interesting :)
May I post two...?
Some day your life will flash before your eyes
Make sure it's worth watching.

As the images flow through my head, I lift my brush
The grey is the white, and the white is all.
My music is my art, clouded as it is.
This Torrit Smoke is my mind
~Ravenn A. Shant
Yay!! Thank you all so much!!
And yes, you can submit more than one :) Feel free to submit more!! <3
Hello Miss Raquel:
This is my favorite quote. It is from a book called "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexander Dumas. I sure hope that is all spelt right :)
Anyway, here is the quote:
"Youth is the flower of which love is the fruit; happy is he, who after having watched it's silent growth, is permitted to gather and call it his own."
I just love this quote. So sweet :)
Hope you can use it :)
I have a quote book too! Let me go get it...
okay, I'm back! Here are a few of my favorites:
"When you ARE imagining, you might as well imagine something worthwhile."
-L.M. Montgomery (from Anne of Green Gables)
"If you're the only one that knows you're afraid- you're brave"
- I don't know exactly...I think it's an old Irish saying. :D
"I try to avoid looking forward or backward, and try to keep looking upward"
-Charlotte Bronte
"If we discover a desire within us that nothing in this world can satisfy, also we should begin to wonder if perhaps we were created for another world"
-C.S. Lewis
"Every man's life is a fairy tale written by God's fingers"
-Hans Christian Anderson
how about: Everyone wants to go to heaven, no one wants to die.
and..
if worrying were a weightloss program, woman would be invisible
hope you like it!
I have a ton of favorite quotes--they're written on post-it notes and stuck up all over my room :) Here's my favorite of all time, though:
“When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.”
~Alexander Graham Bell
Fun! I email myself quotes I like. =) Here is one of my favorites(it's a long one!): Our aim in life is for "Christ to be magnified in our bodies whether by life or by death." (Philippians 1:19-20). In other words, with Paul, we do care - really care - about what others think of Christ. Their salvation hangs on what they think of Christ. And our lives are to display His truth and beauty. So we must care what others think of us as representative of Christ.
Love demands it.
But notice where the accent falls: not on our value or our excellence or our virtue or our power and wisdom. It falls on whether Christ is honored by the way people think of us. Does Christ look great because of the way we live? It matters to us whether He does.
John Piper
That last one was longer than I thought. Sorry!
Here is one more:
"Other 'Christian' girls may watch the same movies, listen to the same music, wear the same clothes, and have all the same pop culture addictions as the rest of the world with just slightly higher morals tacked on. But God has called us to a higher standard-the very standard of Jesus Christ. And I believe it's time we become worthy of the calling we've received." --Leslie Ludy
My favorite quote is "I believe in Christ like I believe in the sun. Not because I can see it, but because by it I can see everything else." --C.S. Lewis
Oh! This is so awesome!!!! I only have one quote that I can think of right now...:
"A womans heart should be so lost in God, that a man needs to seek him in order to find her."
Unknown Author

I've been thinking about starting a "quote journal". Where write down quotes that like in a little book.
Anyways, here's a couple quotes that I liked...
"Fairy tales are important, not because they tell us dragons exist, but because they tell us dragons can be slayed." -- G.K.Chesterson
"Without education we are in serious danger of taking educated people seriously."
-- G.K.Chesterson (We had a good laugh over that one :))
"Thinking is one of the hardest work there is, which is the probable reason why so few engage in it." --Henry Ford
I may think of more later...
