78. Find 101 quotes that inspire me (2-10/101)

The beginning of the new year is time where it's trendy to make New Year's resolutions. Now, whereas I'm not a new year's resolution person - I thought some quotes about the new year would be appropriate and maybe inspiring for the two people who read this :)

"Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right." - Oprah Winfrey

"One resolution I have made, and try always to keep, is this - To rise above the little things." - John Burroughs

"We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called "Opportunity" and its first chapter is New Year's Day." - Edith L. Pierce

"Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"What the New Year will bring to you will depend a great deal on what you bring to the New Year." - Vern McLellan

"Be at war with your vices; at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man." - Benjamin Franklin

"It's difficult to live in the present, ridiculous to live in the future, and impossible to live in the past. Nothing is as far away as one minute ago." - Jim Bishop

and one last one...

"Take hold of the future or the future will take hold of you - be futurewise." - Patrick Dixon

Happy New Year's all! :)

78. Find 101 quotes that inspire me (1/101)

Not to stereotype or anything, but like most twenty-something females, I love a good quote. It's so interesting how we can find something said from someone that we've never met to be so appropriate and totally perfect in whatever we're facing at the moment.

When I was compiling my list, I thought that I should continue my collection of quotes that stated what I was feeling and couldn't be as eloquent to put into words. Similarly, I think it's important to inspire one another and ourselves regularly to keep fighting the good fight - in whatever daily battle we're dealing with.

With that being said, here is my first of one hundred and one quotes:

"Quotations help us remember the simple yet profound truths that give our life perspective and meaning. When it comes to some of life's most important lessons, we can all use gentle reminders."
- Criswell Freeman

Party on, Mr. Freeman!
