Quotation Saturday

Faith~

“The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. Let us move forward with strong and active faith.”
~Franklin D. Roosevelt

Fear~
“Fear of failure and fear of the unknown are always defeated by faith. Having faith in yourself, in the process of change, and in the new direction that change sets will reveal your own inner core of steel.”
~Georgette Mosbacher

Of all the liars in the world, sometimes the worst are your own fears.
~Rudyard Kipling

Emotions~

“Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth.” ~Benjamin Disraeli

Creativity~
“Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes and having fun.”
~Mary Lou Cook

“If we fail to nourish our souls, they wither, and without soul, life ceases to have meaning. The creative process shrivels in the absence of continual dialogue with the soul. And creativity is what makes life worth living.”
~Marion Woodman

Challenges~

“Self-acceptance comes from meeting life’s challenges vigorously. Don’t numb yourself to your trials and difficulties, nor build mental walls to exclude pain from your life. You will find peace not by trying to escape your problems, but by confronting them courageously. You will find peace not in denial, but in victory.”
~J. Donald Walters

I love all the quotes you come up with each Saturday, Joni -- so much to think about!

My favorite:
“Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes and having fun.”
~Mary Lou Cook

Living by her statement is living a full life. And too many people forget the last part - "having fun."

Take care,
June
