Quotes of the Day!

Inspired by Ruby Belle... Here are my quotes for the day. These are from a book called "Today I Will" by one of my favorite authors and his wife: Jerry & Eileen Spinelli.

"It's always better to be an original than an imitation."

-By Frank Keating, from his book, Theodore (Roosevelt)

"To me, the labels that people gave each other - or themselves - were like invisible name tags. Once you started to "wear" one, everyone was free to make assumptions about who you are."

-By Aisha Muharrar, from the book, More Than A Label

"It isn't walls and furniture that makes a home. It's the family."

- By Natalie Savage Carlson, from the book, The Family Under the Bridge

"I have heard of a land where the imagination has no fences; where what is dreamed one night is accomplished the next day."

- By Joyce Carol Thomas, from I Have Heard of a Land

"Tis a good life!"

- By Elizabeth George Speare, from The Witch of Blackbird


I think that all these quotes show that "life is only once", and that if we copy someone or push someone away we have to live with that being our choice. For the rest of our live we have to live with "acting" cool for no one reason. The only the reason was that our friends were there, when really friends should now who you who you are. So start taking that giant risk, that some people think is death. The risk of being yourself.
