I don't want to toot my own horn, but I'm a pretty good writer. I love to talk, and I've been told that I have a real way with words. (I wrote a 70 page novel in my junior high journalism class!) Even so, sometimes I can't quite come up with the right words. It's moments like those when I turn to the wise words of those who have gone before me.
As a GoGirl, these are some of the quotes that really speak to me and inspire me.
Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. - Harold R. McAlindon
The ultimate measure of a [woman] is not where [she] stands in moments of comfort, but where [she] stands at times of challenge and controversy. - Martin Luther King, Jr.
It was a high counsel that I once heard given to a young person. "Always do what you are afraid to do." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall. - Confucius
Press on! A better fate awaits thee. - Victor Hugo
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined. - Henry David Thoreau
You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." You must do the thing you think you cannot do. - Eleanor Roosevelt
