Quotes
I love quotes. Good quotes are not only fun to find but they can also be uplifting when you need them and inspiring to read if you find them at the right time. Some of my favorite people online feel exactly the same way. Cory Booker posts quotes at least a few times a week on Facebook. Fred Wilson tumbles a lot of quotes from the web. And Seth Godin includes quotes in many of his blog posts.
Like these guys I also like to think about quotes when I can. One place I like to put quotes is on Twitter. Like Fred, I also recently began to Tumbl quotes that I like and sometimes I’ll even put them in my blog posts.
A few quotes have recently come to mind, in no particular order:
1. One quote that I was recently reminded of last weekend was from Steve Jobs, whose quote on attention to detail/quality is good for anyone in business; or anyone that wants to go to graduate school.
You got to make the back fence that nobody will see just as good looking as the front -Steve Jobs
2. Here is another quote that I recently found online.
I am strong because I am weak.
I am beautiful because I know my flaws.
I am a lover because I am a fighter.
I am fearless because I have been afraid.
I am wise because I have been foolish.
And I can laugh because I’ve known sadness.
3. And here is a quote from one of my favorite songs:
If I were of the highest cliff, on the highest riff And you slipped off the side and clinched on to your life in my grip, I would never, ever let you down
