Quotes Worth Quoting

I don't know why, but lately I have been really into quotes. Simple quotes. Profound quotes. Short quotes. Long quotes. Laugh-inducing quotes. Serious quotes. Quotes. I just can't get enough of them. And I don't want to keep them all to myself because that would just be crime. So I thought I'd share a week's worth of pretty incredible quotes. Feel free to read them all at once, or even keep the suspense going by reading one at a time. Whatever floats your boat. And then try to make that quote a reality for you on that day, or perhaps, from that day forward. A couple quotes may mess with your head, but I hope and pray that all of them mess with your heart.

Day 1: "Time you enjoyed wasting is not wasted time." -T.S. Elliot

Day 2: "If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If YOU want to be happy, practice compassion." -Dalai Lama

Day 3: "In skating over thin ice, our safety is in our speed." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Day 4: "A great social success is a pretty girl who plays her cards as carefully as if she were plain." -F. Scott Fitzgerald

Day 5: "Talent is God-given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful." -John Wooden

Day 6: "Let us live so that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry." -Mark Twain

Day 7: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?" -Jesus Christ
