Quotations

Quotations, sometimes they are really inspiring, they can help too when you are in a bad mood, just give it a try, search for new quotes, hoping you would find the one which would provide you by an idea to help you in dealing with the situation annoying you.

These are some of my favorites:

“It is not a bad idea to get in the habit of writing down one's thoughts. It saves one having to bother anyone else with them.” Isabel Colegate.


“Do not fear death so much, but rather the inadequate life.” Bertolt Brecht.


“The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want.” Ben Stein.


“Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.” William Jennings Bryan.

"Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day." Rainer Maria Rilke.
