Hi All,
It’s been a while since I posted a “random quotes” entry, so here’s one for you.
These are 10 random quotes for your enjoyment:
1. We wander but in the end there is always a certain peace in being what one is, in being that completely.
-Ugo Betti, Italian poet
2. Nobody is bound by obligation unless it has first been freely accepted.
-Ugo Betti, Italian poet
3. We know what happens to people who stay in the middle of the road. They get run down.
-Aneurin Bevan, Welsh politician
4. You cannot be fuelled by bitterness. It can eat you up but it cannot drive you.
-Benazir Bhutto, former Pakistani Prime Minister
5. The weak have one weapon: the errors of those who think they are strong.
-Georges Bidault, French statesman
6. (People) are mute not only when they fail to speak up about flagrant abuse they become aware of…but also when they fail to speak up for causes or projects that they judge to be morally valuable.
-Frederick Bruce Bird, U.S. author
7. The art of leadership is saying no, not yes. It is very easy to say yes.
-Tony Blair, Former British Prime Minister
8. He who binds to himself a joy
Doth the winged life destroy;
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in Eternity’s sunrise.
-William Blake, British poet
9. I was angry with my friend:
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.
-William Blake, British poet
10. Without Contraries is no Progression. Attraction and Repulsion, Reason and Energy, Love and Hate, are necessary to Human existence.
-William Blake, British poet
Done!

Thank you for your service. I appreciate and look forward to your posts.
Here’s a great one given to me by a fan…We the unwilling, lead by the unknowing, are doing the impossible , for the ungrateful! We have done so much, for so long, with so little, We now qualify to do anything with nothing!…Love this one! Been ranting it for years now and people listen carefully and agree! It’s all relative and universal if you have a heart of compassion for the lesser of society!
Amen and amen,
Sending blessing ,

Happiness consists of a solid faith, good health, and a bad memory.
–Clare Boothe Luce
Resentments are guaranteed to hinder our growth. We can never know full happiness when resentment clouds our vision. Why is it so hard for us to “forget” the small injuries of life? We have never been promised freedom from pain. Many of the lessons we are destined to learn will scuff our egos. But we will know happiness, completely, if we free our minds of resentments.
The formula for happiness is simple. We don’t need material wealth, a perfect job, or an exceptional relationship. In fact, it’s possible to know happiness with no job, very little money, and no significant other. Happiness is a by-product of a healthy attitude. And a healthy attitude is one that takes the normal turmoil of life.
I am in charge of my attitude today. Happiness is a choice I can make regardless of what the people around me are doing.
Thanks for being there to motivate. Splendid quotes & outstanding. I like number 10.
Thanks Everyone, for your comments.
I appreciate all your feedback and the quotes you’ve shared.

I like the Random Inspirational Quotes. I use them as motivators to my students.This way, I can choose the ones most appropriate for each individual. Thank you.
That’s awesome to hear. Glad I could help out. What do you teach?
I coach, mentor, counsel with clients in a social service program teaching computer office skills (MicroSoft Office Suite), as well as “Life Skills, etc. to qualify for employment. Some need more counseling/encouragement to complete the courses than others. The inspirational/motivational pieces I’ve used have oftentimes played a big part to assist them toward graduation. Thank you.
