Good Morning! Here are your daily birthday quotations...

Girolamo Savonarola (1452 – 1498):

“The gloom of the world is but a shadow; behind it, yet within our reach, is joy. Take joy.”

and

“Don't be ashamed to learn from others.”

H.G. Wells (1866 – 1946):

“If you fell down yesterday, stand up today.”

and

“Sometimes, you have to step outside of the person you've been and remember the person you were meant to be. The person you want to be. The person you are.”

and

“We all have our time machines, don't we. Those that take us back are memories...And those that carry us forward, are dreams.”

and

“Every time I see an adult on a bicycle, I no longer despair for the future of the human race.”

Chuck Jones (1912 – 2002):

“Eschew the ordinary, disdain the commonplace. If you have a single-minded need for something, let it be the unusual, the esoteric, the bizarre, the unexpected.”

Leonard Cohen (1934 - ):

“Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash.”

and

“All I’ve ever learned from love

Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you

It’s not a cry you can hear at night

It’s not somebody who has seen the light

It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah”

Stephen King (1947 - ):

“If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.”

and

“Books are a uniquely portable magic.”

and

“Books are the perfect entertainment: no commercials, no batteries, hours of enjoyment for each dollar spent. What I wonder is why everybody doesn't carry a book around for those inevitable dead spots in life.”

and

“The road to hell is paved with adverbs.”

and

“The scariest moment is always just before you start.”

Bill Murray (1950 - ):

“The more relaxed you are, the better you are at everything: the better you are with your loved ones, the better you are with your enemies, the better you are at your job, the better you are with yourself.”
