Good Morning! You survived Monday, now just to make it through the rest of the week 🙂 Today’s quotes consist of quotes by Richard Paul Evans, a author I have enjoyed reading recently. Looking for good books? May I suggest The Locket, The Looking Glass and The Letter. They read quickly and the quotes today have been taken from these books. The last one is from a different book. His books are fiction novels, but they do such a great job of speaking to your heart. He writes in a way that pulls you in, and keeps you turning the pages. Hope you enjoy and that they speak to you. Have a great day!
1. “We are worthy of life, of love, of kindness and gentleness. Until we see ourselves worthy of love, we will forever be chained; chained by our own perception.”
2.”Not all heroes are painted on white horses.”
3. “The most difficult of decisions are often not the ones in which we cannot determine the correct course, rather the ones in which we are certain of the path, but fear the journey.”
4. “Even the most horrible of nightmares are laced with the promise of dawn.”
5. “There are times I have been tempted to protect my heart from further disappointment with cynicism…but it would be like poisoning myself to avoid being murdered.”
6. “How often the course of life is changed in one pulse of the heart.”
7. “The greatest shackles we bear in this life are those forged by our own fears.”
8. “It is a folly of our species, that we reserve the greatest bouquets for the dead.”
9. “The most important story we will ever write in life, is our own….not with ink..but in the daily choices we make.”

Nice choice of quotes JR. I like #4 the best. It reminds me of the second LOTR rings movie when they are all fighting against the orcs in this castle/town on the mountain and it doesn’t seem like they will win but then Gandalf arrives bringing with him light (now Gandalf the white) and recruits who crush the orcs.:) thanks for sharing!

Thanks for reading and commenting! I would add to it and say that actually the best heroes are probably not on white horses 🙂
