Dash of Creativity
Random, mostly one-liners and quotables that bring humor and creativity into a hectic world.
Quote – Life, You Own It
“Life’s like a movie, write your own ending. Keep believing, keep pretending.”
Quote – Voice and Power
“A voice is a human gift; it should be cherished and used, to utter fully human speech as possible. Powerlessness and silence go together.”
Quote – Inner & Outer Aspects of Life
“Human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives.”
Quote – Disposition & Circumstance
“I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances.”
Quote – Forgotten Education
“Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.”
Quote – Character & Shadow
“Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.”
Quote – Character & Experience
“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.”
Quote – Writing & Persistance
“You must keep sending work out; you must never let a manuscript do nothing but eat its head off in a drawer. You send that work out again and again, while you’re working on another one. If you have talent, you will receive some measure of success – but only if you persist.”
Quote – Passion & Writing
“No passion in the world is equal to the passion to alter someone else’s draft.”
