Selected from Laura Moncur's Motivational Quotations - July 02, 2024

Properly, we should read for power. Man reading should be man intensely alive. The book should be a ball of light in one's hand.: Ezra Pound (1885 - 1972)
Hide not your talents, they for use were made. What's a sun-dial in the shade?: Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790)
The shortest verse in the Bible is 'Jesus wept.' The only thing wrong with it is the past tense.: Randy K. Milholland, Something Positive Comic, 10-10-06
There was no escaping by means of any journey, however adventurous, one took one's problems and sorrows with one.: Elizabeth Aston, The Exploits & Adventures of Miss Alethea Darcy, 2005
