Motivational Quotes of the Day
Selected from Laura Moncur's Motivational Quotations - May 23, 2024
- Fresh beauty opens one's eyes wherever it is really seen, but the very abundance and completeness of the common beauty that besets our steps prevents its being absorbed and appreciated. It is a good thing, therefore, to make short excursions now and then to the bottom of the sea among dulse and coral, or up among the clouds on mountain-tops, or in balloons, or even to creep like worms into dark holes and caverns underground, not only to learn something of what is going on in those out-of-the-way places, but to see better what the sun sees on our return to common everyday beauty.
- John Muir (1838 - 1914), My First Summer in the Sierra, 1911
- The words that enlighten the soul are more precious than jewels.
- Hazrat Inayat Khan
- If you look at life one way, there is always cause for alarm.
- Elizabeth Bowen (1899 - 1973)
- Quarrel not at all. No man resolved to make the most of himself can spare time for personal contention.
- Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865), in a letter to J. M. Cutts, October 26, 1863
