Writing is like
riding a roller coaster. As you know it’s
a journey of highs (acceptances) and lows (rejections). During the low times, it’s hard to stay on
the writing path. Dealing with rejection
is incredibly difficult. We wonder if writing is worth all of this despair. We often ask ourselves: should we give up? Keeping
busy with other writing projects can help weather those low times. But sometimes that’s not enough. That’s when inspirational quotes may help.
I hope the
following sayings will help lift your spirits, inspire
you, and keep you on the writing path.
Calvin Coolidge --“When you get into a tight place, and everything goes against you till it seems as if you couldn’t hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that’s just the place and time that the tide’ll turn.”
Harriet Beecher Stowe--“Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstacles, discouragements and impossibilities: It is this, that in all things distinguishes the strong soul from the weak.”
Louis Pasteur--“You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it."
Maya Angelou--“Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.”
Billie Jean King--“Through perseverance many people win success out of what seemed destined to be certain failure.”
Martin Luther King, Jr.--“Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody."
Orison Swett Marden--“Courage doesn’t always roar, sometimes it’s the quiet voice at the end of the day whispering ‘I will try again tomorrow.'”
Lou Holtz--“A river cuts through rock, not because of its power, but because of its persistence.”
Jim Watkins--“It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop."
Confucius--“There are two ways of attaining an important end, force and perseverance; the silent power of the latter grows irresistible with time.”
