Mark Twain said, “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do, so throw off the bowlines, sail away from safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream, Discover.”
Make 2015 a year of action rather than procrastination.
To start the New Year, I tried to find quotes I haven’t shared before, or at least ones I haven’t shared recently. Below are 10 I find inspirational. Hope you do to.

Speaking of quotations, one of my fave tips is make a list of your OWN quotations. From any of your books including poetry--even how-to books. I have a couple of different lists. If you'd like to use my list a template (it shows how to make it easy for editors and bloggers to just copy ans paste by submitting exactly as it should appear), just e-mail me at HoJoNews @ AOL dot Com. Tell me what it is you want. In fact, you can copy and paste this message to make it crystal clear. (-:

Great quotes! I will be printing this off and taping it near my desk. Thanks, Karen!
Carolyn, I have multiple lists of quotes. I love quotes. That's a great idea to create your own quotes from books, and this gives the author some promotion too. Win-win!
Kathleen, so glad you like the quotes. There was another I really loved, I think it's: "Anxiety is the interest on a bill you may not owe." Don't remember the author though.
I love the one about someone sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree years ago. It's not just about our own lives either, but about the good of the future for all of us. Thanks for the quotes.
That's so true, Melinda. There's no telling how our actions today can help someone tomorrow. Great point.
