A FURTHER 100 QUOTATIONS TO MAKE YOU THINK ‘OUT OF THE BOX!’
Wow, I never once imagined there would be such a demand for life quotations! This is the third in a series of E-Books containing 100 quotations by unknown authors. These have been collected over many months as I add a new quotation daily on my Facebook page. My goal now is to eventually have 500 and bring out one mega book of quotations. If you haven’t got the first two E-Books, make sure make sure to view them here on WordPress, or on my personal blog, or download them for free from Smashwords in most reader formats, iTunes, Reader Store and Barnes & Noble. These quotations will not only give you something to think about, but hopefully make you ‘think out of the box’ and see the positive side to life. Some are funny, others more serious, but with each comes a deep seeded message to become a better you.
I added a bonus 5 quotations in the last book, and will simply continue the numbering here…

209) Often when you look at the moon, you see only a part of it, but you know there is a much larger object there.

221) A coward gets scared and quits. A hero gets scared, but still goes on.
222) A dog that barks much is never a good hunter.
223) Acceptance: A flower falls even though we love it. A weed grows even though we don’t love it.

243) A bar of iron costs $5, made into horseshoes its worth is $12, made into needles its worth is $3500, made into balance springs for watches, its worth is $300, 000. Your own value is determined also by what you are able to make of yourself.
244) A careful inventory of all your past experiences may disclose the startling fact that everything has happened for the best.
