Welcome to Inspirational Quotes

Like a Dream it came true,
Like a Wave it hit suddenly,
It was just as Sweet as sugar,
It was just as Fresh as Lilyâs,
Out with the Old, In with the New,
With the New Beginnings!

Though my family and close friends say it would be far more entertaining with a video-camera* in the âreal worldâ, rather than in cyberspace!)
* By the way, do they still make them in todayâs ever-faster changing world..or is it all done with mobile phones?
(get with the times now,âludditeâ* c â it should be a smart phone)
* or so I was often called by my âmy techno-geekâ friend, Bill (âthe gonkâ)
âtotal non-technoâ c (who doesnât possess a mobile phone, after a rather eventfulâ experience some years back, whilst trying to walk, talk and chew gum at the same time) #
Who says men canât multi-task!
âThe impossible we do immediately. Miracles take a little longer.â

Hi
CANâT KEEP UPâŠBUT THANKS FOR THE âTHANXâ
Iâve had many many hundreds of thousands (even âzillionsâ) of comments on my various other WordPress blogs at https://craigsblogs.wordpress.com/2011/09/09/craigs-list-of-blogs-updated-sept-2011/
in recent years âŠtrue!). A few of my blogs went âbalistically viralâ a few years back and I got swamped with comments on my various blogs⊠so had to close them all off.
Obsessive or WHAT! Am really pleased you are enjoying my writings, as the reason I write is to share.
Though Iâm rather âdrivenâ, I still get really, really fatigued (thereâs a few books there). So sorry canât reply individually to all you good people scattered around the planet. As mentioned (stop repeating yourself, c â bad writingâŠotherwise the first signs of approaching senility!), I was unable to keep up with the comments and was spending entire days just on replies on my various blog pages, so had to close them off on all of my blogs, except for one or two of particular interest to me.
Sorry and hope you can understand.
âDonât bend; donât water it down; donât try to make it logical; donât edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.â
~ Franz Kafka

âAs we live and move and have our being, so from this vision, we create heaven in our own lives⊠and perhaps even heaven on earth.â
â craig (as inspired by Acts 17:28 and the words of Felicia Searcy)
âAim at the earth and you may not get off the ground.a
âAim at the stars and you may reach the moon.â
âAim at heaven and youâll have earth thrown inâŠ
and you may even hit the stars.â
â craig (as inspired by the famous quote by CS Lewis â 24th May 2012)
âWhen once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.â
â Leonardo da Vinci
When (or if ever) you arrive in heaven, let faith, hope and love be the wings that carried you there.â
â as adapted from the inspiring words of Jonathan Edwards, former minister in New England, Massachusetts
âThe Greatest Race: Living by (with) faith, hope and love is the highest podium any person can reach, Godâs podium that anyone stand on.â
â c
âHaving pursued the goals, the dreams set before us and run the race with persistence and endurance, after giving it all. Then one day standing on the summit of life, breathing in the pure sweet oxygen of achievement, totally satisfied in running the greatest race, the race of life one that ANYONE can run and win.â

âIf a man is called to be a street-sweeper,
he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted,
or Beethoven composed music, or
Shakespeare wrote poetry.
He should sweep streets so well
that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say,
here lived a great street sweeper
who did his job well.â
â Dr Martin Luther King, Jr.

Instead of trying to reply to each one of you, Iâll just keep on writing (which Iâm often told is what is âsafestâ for me!)
âIf the doctor told me I had six minutes to live, Iâd type a little faster.â

âI wish you well on a rainy day
I wish you rainbows to brighten your day
To feel your quiet moments with a special kind of warmth
to remind you that happiness can happen
when you least expect it.
I wish you rainbows to make you laugh and smile
to show you the simple beauty of life
and to give you the magic of dreams come true.
I wish you rainbows
I wish you well.â
â Larry S. Chengges
âSince I can never see your face,
And never shake you by the hand,
I send my soul through time and space
To greet you. You will understand.â
