I love quotes that inspire me or make me laugh. My daughter keeps a quotation journal with a list of all of her favorite quotes and adds to it whenever she finds a new one. I think that is a beautiful idea and it is one I keep meaning to adopt.
So many awesome quotes are too long for Twitter! I have attempted to make some of my very favorite quotes “tweetable” by truncating them a little, but I am also including the full quote here so that you can enjoy its full impact and maybe start your own quotation journal.
A quotation journal can be any journal that inspires you and in which you enjoy writing your quotes. I have linked to a few on Amazon and, as a disclaimer, they are my affiliate links, so if you decide to make a purchase, I will get a small commission, but there is no additional cost to you.
Now, on to the quotes!

If the condition of things which we were made for is not yet, what were any reality which we can substitute? We will not be shipwrecked on a vain reality.

I love quotes. I have them all on my walls. Sometimes I use it as affirmations.
Somehow, just I few days ago, I learn about neuro programming. And the way we say affirmation are not as effective as we think.
The best way is to turn the quotes or affirmations. Rather than saying, I am successful, ask yourself. Why I think I am successful. Its game changing.
Anyway, I love that most of the quotes you share here. My favorite one is
If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.- Henry David Thoreau, Walden

Love the quotes, I guess I like some of the harsher or less motivational ones because it’s easy to get lost in the positive message. Maybe that’s a quote in itself…”read more negative quotes to make you stronger” 🙂
