Quotes can inspire us; change our perceptions of current events and or past events. They can encourage us to believe or tickle our funny bone. Whatever the case may be, they make us think and grow, our minds expand and we experience a new awakening within us.
People throughout history have made comments that have caused another to put pen to paper, leaving a mark on a generation that is carried into the future, passing their wisdom and encouragement to the next generation.
A long time ago I read a quote that changed my life, "Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit" by Napoleon Hill. Wow, even while typing these words I am reminded that they made a huge impact on me so long ago and have continued to be my companion when things get rough.
People have used quotes in social media to let others know what is important to them and what inspires them, using the words of others helps those of us without our own words connect with others that think the same way. I have had many ah ha moments while reading something that clicks in my mind; I have also found a desire to pass it along to others through my own social media networks. At times one quote can go almost viral within a day, and I feel as if I myself have passed something of importance to others and I have a great sense of satisfaction to know that my connection is felt by so many others around this wonderful world.
Quotes also help us to remember the great people in history such as Walter Reuther, Ernest Thompson Seton, Brigham Young, Bob Hope, Ben Hogan, Alan Alda, Billy Graham, Phyllis Diller, Abraham Lincoln, Napoleon Hill, Charles Edwards, Robert Anton Wilson and so many more. Whether they are gone or still here we remember them, so they will always be here with us.
Quotes endure the test of time, they will be here long after we leave this life and our grandchildren and great grandchildren will read them and will be inspired to take action or change a behavior, they will last for as long as people can read, and they will remain permanent and unchanging carrying their message through time.
Words of wisdom can come from anyone, leaders of the country, leaders of the people, entertainers, politicians as well as you and me. I like golf, but I'm not very good, here are my personal quotes about golf:
1. When your head starts getting too big, play a round of golf and you'll walk away humbled.
2. When I am one with the club, the ball and the course it's magic, unfortunately I'm not a magician.
3. Stroke 1 - hit a tree, stroke 2 - hit a tree, I felt like it was Easter and I was hunting for eggs in the woods, LOL.
If you have a quote that is personal and makes you feel inspired or makes you laugh, it will inspire others or make others laugh because many people think the way you do and sharing your own take on this great thing we call life will encourage others to do the same. Pass it on, make your words count. Life is a gift and your thoughts are a gift and one more thing, never, ever, ever, ever quit.
A person who has long passed can inspire many generations of people with their personal take on life through their words of wisdom.
Golf can be played by anyone; you do not have to be a professional to enjoy this game. You can be young or old, your family can play together and I believe that's why this game attracts so many to the great outdoors.
This is a very large library of golf quotes, many people - with varying backgrounds - famous and not - have one thing in common here - and that's "GOLF"
