Inspiring Quotes

Happy International Women's Day!

Today I thought I'd post a few inspiring quotes:

"Women are half the world's people who do two-thirds of the world's work. They earn a tenth of the world's income and own a hundredth of the world's property." WomenAid International ...warrants comment when in mixed company. Amongst we women, 'gee, why are we not surprised?'

"If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow."
Chinese proverb

“Lost time never returns.”
Czech proverb

"The person who says it can't be done should not interrupt the person doing it."
Chinese proverb

"The important work of moving the world forward does not wait to be done by perfect men."
English writer Mary Ann Evans aka George Eliot (1819-1880)

"You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person."

Each day is a gift, live it with appreciation - even if some 'gifts' are less than great. It just takes 24 hours to get over the bad days and we have 1440 minutes to savour the good ones.

Good days and bad days pass with equal speed. The bad ones just seem to last so much longer. Take the good days with joy, not with nonchalance. On bad days, do something especially nice for yourself - even if you don't feel like it. Take a luxury bath, light that expensive candle, go out for the most expensive cappuccino, go to a silly movie. On those days, one needs to get behind one's self and PUSH forward. Even if its just a long walk somewhere.

Life is grand. Every 24 hours we get another chance!
