Famous people are quoted daily, but one does not have to be famous to contribute quotable quotes. Writers at Triond are proof of that fact. I have learned much from my fellow writers at Triond and selecting just one sentence from any of their knowledgeable contributions was very difficult, so I am sure the reader could easily add more.
Ed Moore encourages communication in this line of a touching poem “Somehow you thought I knew.” We should not assume someone knows our heart felt emotions. As writers we have strong needs to communicate. Unfortunately there are those who lock their deepest feelings up tightly within whether it is from fear or inability we need to help them learn to express them.
Anne Lyken-Garner encourages us to be our best selves “Sacrifice of self alleviates the soul of greed and petty worries about material gains.”
With these words Lanne reminds us that loved ones never truly leave us because they live within our hearts: “Back to a much happier time, when life was not a strain, back to when you were so vibrant, and could walk without such pain.”
Liane Schmidt addresses emotional turmoil head on “when you accept your life you must address all potential facets for without doing so, you are simply living a fairytale.”
“The study of words over a lifetime normally allows for a lively conversation among persons of similar interests in word mastery.” Nelson Doyle
Icy Cucky shows her love and insight in expressing her child's deep felt emotions “When missing you, I look at my clothes it's like your hands touch me. I feel love and I feel all right!” The courage and love show through these spoken words.
Good insight from Jason Lusk “A writer who's blind to his or her own emotions isn't a writer.”
Chan Lee Peng said a mouthful in one sentence: “Attitude is a marvelous thing as it has miraculous power.”
Lucy Lockett tells it like it is “At the end of the day, we must live with knowledge that what we are doing is true; otherwise, we would not do it.”
Quiet Voice proves you can be quiet and still not be silent “I am if anything, honest. Mrs. Clinton's campaign reminds one, of the Tower of Babel.” What a powerful analogy.
Darlene MacFarlane reminds us that we are after all human and need to turn to a higher power for assistance; “Prayer is an indispensable element.”
Louie Jerome reminds us to be in harmony with nature: “All creatures and plants in creation are considered to be equal, each fitting into the system according to its individual characteristics and abilities.”
B. Radley puzzles over some of life's mysteries in her statement and article dedicated to: “Life is full of "what if's'.”
Alexa Gates is not only a good student, but humble and grateful too as she credits her great grandmother with her success. “I know that she didn't waste her breath on me because I'm going to be inducted in the NHS at my school.” You go girl.
Dee Huff is so astute at explaining how it is; “But life throws curve balls at us
and then I have to run, sideways just to catch them, before the job's been done.” Who hasn't experienced this, but perhaps not worded it as well?
“Do not ever try to hinder another person's calling, instead spend your time pursuing yours” encourages Jupiter King.
Asian Poet offers remarkable loyalty “You will always be my friend
Even if I can't be yours.”
M.C. Johnson uplifts us with her words “Warm sunlight kisses my cheek in welcome
beckoning me to meet the morning. I do so with a smile.”
With wisdom older than his years, Jared provides us with this advice to follow after a car accident “Although you may think it wise to talk with the other driver about the accident, you shouldn't talk to them unless it is necessary.”
Thank you, E.T. Barton for helping us turn the tables on the bullies, our creditors “When a collector says they cannot send you a letter verifying whatever they are telling you, they are lying to you so that they can get their own way.”
I think Valli sums up it up for a lot of us “I really enjoy working with and for Triond, as each article not only gives me money, but also immense knowledge on things I probably would have never known.”
The writers at Triond are not slouches. There is a lot to be learned from their content, and I am honored to stand among them. Many new and talented writers join the ranks daily, and I know they will be just as honored.
The book shown below is based upon quotations from ordinary people found in every walk of life, and every age from 5 to 95. I am going to share a few with you, and I am sure that you will agree that our quotes are just as impressive.
From someone 53 years old:
“I've learned that after age 50 you get the furniture disease. That's when your chest falls into your drawers.”
From a 14 year old:
“I've learned that a good feeling gets even better when it's shared.”
From a 59 year old:
“I've learned that you can make a dime dishonestly, but that it will cost you a dollar later on.”
From a 5 year old:
I've learned that goldfish don't like jello.
From a 51 year old:
I've learned that kind words and good deeds are eternal. You never know where their influence will end.”
From a 79 year old:
“I've learned that life is like a scooter car: not much happens unless you do some peddling.”
From a 47 year old:
“I've learned that every great achievement was once considered impossible.”
From a 68 year old:
“I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to the best others can do, but to the best you can do.”
From a 27 year old”
“I've learned that you can do something in an instant that can give you a heart ache for life.”
I think that these quotes point out that we are never too old or too young to learn if we but keep our hearts and minds open, and what better place that in the pages of Triond. Here is to good reading, writing and learning.
