Everyone Needs A Source of Motivation and Wisdom

You need a break…and a daily source of inspiration. Life is too serious, hectic and stressful at times, and the situations and people we deal with can sometimes zap our strength & motivation!

In fact, our jobs can even numb our minds as we fulfill mundane tasks day after day in the same grind. We’re either bored, or challenged in the wrong way, so…

Feeling Overwhelmed? Escape to a Good Coffee or Tea and Some Quotes…

When I went to Barnes and Noble book store the other day, I’ve got to admit I was a bit overwhelmed by all of the books there. Who has the time and the years to read them all?

I think what we need is a more or less useful tidbits or bare snippets type of resource, rather than volumes of great books that just go unread.

A quick comment:

This is the “motto” quote I selected to represent my website.  Ralph Waldo Emerson, the poet and writer of this quote, captures the spirit of quotes with his famous quote.

We all have various reasons why we quote, but the fact is we all tend to quote. Quotes we use become us.

How often have you had people give you a quote that just sticks with you from childhood to adulthood?

Quotes reveal the psyche, the thought process of a generation or culture, and also preserve it.

Some quote to amuse themselves or others. Some quote because the quote makes a difference…such as a President giving a speech. The quote seizes and captivates the moment and makes it special.

I remember some quotes my grandparents used to say, and I am thankful to remember the quote because it helps me remember these special people in my life.

What to do with this famous saying:

Keep on quoting! How often have you quoted a relative, now gone, or far away, but have said “my grandmother always said or used to say…”? I did just yesterday, come to think of it!

You see, quotes are a part of our lives, our memory, our natural habit and one should seek to quote for all reasons mentioned, because our lives are made fuller because of our quotes.

That’s why I wrote this…because this quote captures the essence of why…because it gives pleasure, it is necessary and it is useful to us all. Quote, and enjoy life!

-Benjamin Disraeli

A quick comment about this quote

This quote is really a quote of what quotes are all about. Again we have the theme of wisdom, but here we go one step further. If wisdom were to be forgotten by a single generation, then wisdom would be re-invented every 40-60 years. This should not be.

Quotes allow us to pass along lasting wisdom over time, in an easy and memorable way, and keep wisdom for as long as we continue to exist as humans.

So we should become pundits and purveyors of quotes, making good use of them, pass them along to our children and students, to the young and the old. Many will often identify with certain quotes, and what better way to communicate wisdom but with a quote?

What to do with this famous saying:

Quote freely, quote liberally, but quote, quote, quote! Quote what is worth quoting, quote what is simple to understand, quote what is confounding and perplexing.

Get people to think, to become wiser and more attentive to be wise. Perpetuate quotes of the day, of the week, of the month, of the year. There are enough quotes to last for each day of a lifetime, several times over!
