Quotes



Lately, I haven't found much inspiration for a post. Then yesterday I found a quote that made me smile, so I decided to share it, along with others of my favorite quotes:)

  •  I found it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay... small acts of kindness and love.
                    ~Gandalf, Unexpected Journey

This was the one that inspired me to write this post. I love this quote so much, because it seems to say to me that one little good deed, or act of kindness, could impact someone's life. make the world a better place for awhile. I just love it.

  • I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that wont work.
                    ~Thomas Edison

  • Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.  
                   ~Dumbledore, Prisoner of Azkaban

  • “I don’t like anything here at all.” said Frodo, “step or stone, breath or bone. Earth, air and water all seem accursed. But so our path is laid.”

    “Yes, that’s so,” said Sam, “And we shouldn’t be here at all, if we’d known more about it before we started. But I suppose it’s often that way. The brave things in the old tales and songs, Mr. Frodo, adventures, as I used to call them. I used to think that they were things the wonderful folk of the stories went out and
    looked for, because they wanted them, because they were exciting and life was a bit dull, a kind of a sport, as you might say. But that’s not the way of it with the tales that really mattered, or the ones that stay in the mind. Folk seem to have been just landed in them, usually their paths were laid that way, as you put it. But I expect they had lots of chances, like us, of turning back, only they didn’t. And if they had, we shouldn’t know, because they’d have been forgotten. We hear about those as just went on, and not all to a good end, mind you; at least not to what folk inside a story and not outside it call a good end. You know, coming home, and finding things all right, though not quite the same; like old Mr Bilbo. But those aren’t always the best tales to hear, though they may be the best tales to get landed in! I wonder what sort of a tale we’ve fallen into?”

    “I wonder,” said Frodo, “But I don’t know. And that’s the way of a real tale. Take any one that you’re fond of. You may know, or guess, what kind of a tale it is, happy-ending or sad-ending, but the people in it don’t know. And you don’t want them to.”  
                            ~Sam and Frodo (J.R.R. Tolkien), Lord of the Rings

  • Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. Its about learning to dance in the rain.
                           ~Vivian Greene

  • "900 years of time and space and I've never met anyone that wasn't important." 
                           ~The Doctor

So yeah. These are some of my favorite quotes that inspire me every day and make me feel all warm and fuzzy:) I hope you enjoyed them as much as I do!
