Inspirational Phrases and What They Mean To Us Poetry Contest. Sponsored by: Natasha L Scragg ~ I did all the quotes.....

Inspirational Quotes

"Nothing is impossible, the word itself says, "I'm possible!" ~ Audrey Hepburn Two powerful words both very shockable.
"You can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore." ~ Christopher Columbus Christopher Columbus opened wide the door,  to see and hear the ocean roar.
"Life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent of how I react to it." ~ Charles Swindoll In life I will not quit,  for God gave me the wit.
"If the wind will not serve, take the oars" ~ Latin Proverb Will the wind open the doors? Maybe showing sea dinosaurs.

Each one here has a different meaning, some from life and some from dreaming.

Paula, thank you for entering the contest. I like the way you gained a message from each quote. I particularly like your lines, "In life I will not quit, For God gave me the wit" a fighting spirit with good feeling wrapped in wit. 😊 wit and humour are truly the best meds and it helps us to get through things. Thank you for your inspiration 🌸🌸
