Quotes for the new year

I haven't posted since last year! I had those whole two weeks off and didn't come up with a single thing for the blog, FAIL. But then again, that's not really what I needed to be focusing on around the time of Jesus' birth, now is it? So let's see, what's new? Recently I've been trying to come up with ways to add a little pizazz to my room. The walls are pretty much the same as they were when we moved 6 years ago. They could use a little flavor. I think I've decided to put up quotes that mean something to me or are just down right inspirational. Here's some of my favorites so far.

"You may write me down in history
with your bitter, twisted lies
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I rise." - Maya Angelou

"My brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of any kind, consider it nothing but oy, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance; and let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking in nothing." - James 1:2-4

"I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can some things. That which I need to do, by the grace of God, I will do."

"Pain is weakness leaving the body."

"A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer." Ralph Waldo Emerson

"A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint. What I began by reading, I must finish by acting." - Henry David Thoreau
