Shelter from the Storm

Seeking inspiration

In searching for inspiration, I sometimes like to read my favorite bible verses. Then, there are other times when I like to search for inspirational quotes. Here are a few that touched me, recently:

"Endurance is one of the most difficult disciplines, but it is to the one who endures that the final victory comes." - Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta


"...the task which has been set before us is not above our strength; that its pangs and toils are not beyond our endurance. As long as we have faith in our own cause and an unconquerable will to win, victory will not be denied us." - Winston Churchill


"There is a strength of a quiet endurance as significant of courage as the most daring feats of prowess." - Henry Tuckerman


"Wondrous is the strength of cheerfulness, and its power of endurance--the cheerful man will do more in the same time, will do it better, will preserve it longer, than the sad or sullen." - Thomas Carlyle


"I know quite certain that I myself have no special talent; curiosity, obsession, and dogged endurance, combined with self-criticism, have brought me to my ideas." - Albert Einstein


"We shall draw from the heart of suffering itself the means of inspiration and survival." - Winston Churchill


"We need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth." - Virginia Satir
