Here are a few of my favorite quotes (especially as applied to writing):
“Faithful is He who called you, and He will also do it.” -I Thessalonians 5:24, The Bible
“Writing is where I find a home for my heart. It is the quiet center of my life, a refuge for harried thoughts to rest—a birthing place for creativity.” -Rebecca Barlow Jordan
“To love what you do and feel that it matters, how could anything be more fun?” – Katherine Graham
“It’s never too late to become what you might have been.” – George Eliot
“Your diamonds are not in far distant mountains or in yonder seas; they are in your own backyard, if you but dig for them. “ Russell H. Conwell
“No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit.” – Helen Keller
“You never know when someone may catch a dream from you.” – Helen Lowrie Marshall
“Give me food and sleep and exercise, and put me in a room by myself with an electric typewriter, a Bible, some dictionaries, a synonym-finder, and an idea, and for three hours I wouldn’t trade places with anoyone on earth.” -Sherwood Wirt
“Writing is like a ‘lust,’ or like scratching when you itch. Writing comes as a result of a very strong impulse, and when it does come, I for one must get it out.” -C.S. Lewis
“The people who make a difference are not the ones with the credentials, but the ones with the camera.” -Max Lacado
“Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time….Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come; It will not tarry.” -Habakkuk 2:1, 3, The Bible
