Quotes

 

I’ve always been a decent student, 

Memorizing information for tests and such, 

But I’ve never been good at memorizing quotes, 

And most of that information that I memorized for tests has flown out the window!

 

The other day, a friend posted a prompt 

To share a quote that has made a profound impact on your life. 

A recent quote from Joe the Counselor immediately popped into my mind 

But I also kept thinking about memorable quotes from friends or family. 

To be someone who thrives off of words of affirmation,

There are very few quotes that I remember.

I tend to remember moments, overall feelings, circumstances, and life-application meanings

Instead of exact sentences. 

 

That being said, 

There are a few quotes that have planted themselves in my head, 

And I want to share those quotes now:

 

Watch for the deers and the drunks. (Affectionately now abbreviated WFDD) —Dad

 

We pay for what we value. —Daniel the Brother 

 

If given the choice to do something special or take a nap, do the something special. Ten years from now, you won’t remember that nap, but you will remember doing something special. —Daniel the Brother 

 

Before we were born, God pulled us to God‘s chest and whispered who we are supposed to be. When we came into the world, the world immediately began trying to make us into who it wants us to be. Our life’s journey is to live into who God whispered us to be. Jesus was the only person to ever to do this. That is his perfection. —Dr. Timothy Brock

 

I don’t want to be involved in culture wars. I want to be involved in culture care. —Sara Groves 

 

I think our morning duty is as much for emotional support as it is for safety. —Holly Windmeyer

 

You are perfect the way you are AND there is always room for improvement. —Joe The Counselor

 

You don’t have to do the whole two weeks at once. —Joe The Counselor 

 

And that’s about it.

 

What about you?

What are some memorized quotes that have profoundly influence your life?

Please share.

I’d love to hear!
