Hey Everyone,
Here’s another batch of 10 random inspirational quotes. As you can see, it’s #4 in the series.

1. A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.
-Francis Bacon
2. If a man be gracious and courteous to strangers, it shows he is a citizen of the world.
-Francis Bacon
3. Don’t listen to anyone who tells you that you can’t do this or that. That’s nonsense. Make up your mind you’ll never use crutches or a stick, then have a go at everything…never, never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible.
-Sir Douglas Bader, British aviator
4. You don’t get to choose how you’re going to die. Or when. You can only decide how you’re going to live. Now.
-Joan Baez, U.S. folksinger

-Lucille Ball, U.S. actress and comedian
8. There is no such thing as a great talent without great willpower.

9. You grow old first not in your own eyes, but in other people’s eyes; then, slowly, you agree with their opinion of you.

How wonderful it is that we have so many choices that evolve in our lives. Not all of them will turn out to be as we planned but at least we had the opportunity to try. There will be some choices that will surprise us and amaze us, our talents will be recognised, so never give up.
Never let a chance pass you by and always believe in yourself. We are all unique, we have different talents and creative skills, how great is this. We are able to bring to life a thought, idea, skill, or the greatest gift of all “love”.
Thank you Shawn for bringing such inspiring words to create thoughts within us.
Take care, enjoy your week-end.

Thanks Shawn
I liked 1,2 and 3.
especially 3. In my pessimistic environment I really need that.
Thanx again for making my day brighter
I like all, more appealing to me were 4 and 10.
This is such a great quote because what’s the good of having talent if it is not pushed, stretched, or cultivated?
8. There is no such thing as a great talent without great willpower.
-Honoré de Balzac, French writer
