After opening my blogspot account like 2 weeks ago I've been thinking about what I would actually put on here. I couldn't figure it out for the life of me. Then as I began to read more books I kept coming across quotes I really enjoyed, and instead of flooding facebook with them or just forgetting about them as I put the book back onto the shelf. I decided to put them on here, so I would have a collection of them but could also share them with friends and strangers.
As I continue to post quote I'd really love input from my readers. Such as: Your quotes are too short, or perhaps too long, your quotes don't seem to be funny enough, or they are not inspirational enough. I will of course take all of these comments into consideration when making future posts. Also feel free to discuss the quote among yourselves in the comments. I'd prefer no arguing, but of course I probably can't stop that. Hopefully it doesn't happen though.
I will warn everyone reading this that I've been mostly reading Christian books lately, and not novels. More or less Christian literature to help grow in the faith and to help teach me and others how Christians are supposed to act. I will however steer clear as much as I can from just posting religious quotes. I am going to only take points from these books that can be looked at and viewed by believers as well as non-believers and the same outcome reached. Well, as same an outcome is possible.
If anybody has any questions about the quote like where it came from or why I picked it or why I liked it or anything for that matter I don't mind being contacted and I will gladly get back to you as soon as I can. I'm sure for a long long time, if not forever my blog will not be immensely popular so the response time really shouldn't be that long.
I will be relying on you my fans (of which I have none at the point of writing this) to get the word out on this blog. I'm merely doing this to share knowledge, and in my next post (which will be my first quote) we will learn how wisdom is very important in life. My goal with this is to provide information that should help everyone in their day-to-day life. Whether it helps them individually or maybe it would spark them to be more charitable, or nicer to a fellow person. In which case improving the overall happiness in the world.
Anyway, I'm done talking for now, I hope you all enjoy and remember (this will actually be my first quote) a bit of history on this quote before I actually write it. Someone who was struggling in life and their career had read a book from the past that greatly helped them out of their slump and this is him talking about the situation. "What if my trip to The Archives yielded not just one but dozens of such books, each offering insightful lessons from the past that could save me years of hurtful consequences? What would that be worth? If I could get other great men and women of history to write down for me their mistakes and successes, I'd pay thirty thousand for it, easily. It would be a bargain. A steal!"
And there we have it. From others previously studied knowledge, mistakes and successes we can learn greatly. And that is why I'm starting this list of quotes. Please enjoy responsibly.

Thank you for sharing! That quote speaks volumes. Never stop writing. Don't ever let a number of "fans" or "followers" discourage or hinder what you have to offer. I have often allowed things to go unwritten by telling myself, "Who cares, no one is going to read it anyway." But I have come to learn that many who read blogs do so silently. Sometimes you acquire many followers who aren't "followers" simply because they don't have their own Blogger account. I usually see an increase in page views by posting links on Facebook and the like. I look forward to the blogs yet to come.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I think you should include the information about where the quotes come from in your post. Just my two cents... and because I'd like to know.
That quote is from Wayne Cordeiro. As is the quote in my next post in case you were wondering. They are both from a book called The Divine Mentor haha.
DeleteThanks. I will have to check it out.
