And I Quote

I absolutely love a motivational quote. I have put together 10 of my top favourite quotes that always put a smile on my face or give me a good kick up the bum, lol. Here are my top 10 fave's...

1. "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." Eleanor Roosevelt

2. "Just when the Caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly." Chuang Tzu

3. "We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams." Willy Wonka (Roald Dahl)

4. "Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you!" Rocky Balboa

5. "You are entirely bonkers. but I will tell you a secret… all the best people are." Alice in Wonderland

6. "Sometimes you have to get through you fear, to see the beauty on the other side." The Good dinosaur, Disney

7. "The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all." Mulan, Disney

8. "All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them." Walt Disney

9. "Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. Capable of both inflicting injury and remedying it." Albus Dumbledore (J.K Rowling)

10. You have brains in your head, you have feet in your shoes, You can steer yourself in any direction you choose." Oh the place you will go. Dr Seuss

Got a love a good Disney quote! Can you tell I do love a bit of Disney, lol. The last quote from Dr Seuss is from such a beautiful book- Oh the places you'll go. I absolutely adore it and read it to Hector. Dr Seuss books really are pure genius. I also had to have my favourite Harry Potter quote in my top 10 too. The Rocky quote has special meaning to me as Iain quoted most of it at me when I was feeling down and it takes a lot for him to remember quotes/lyrics etc, so I knew it was a special one. The Eleanor Roosevelt quote has a special place in my heart too- my nanny years and years ago got me a silver flying dancing angel with the quote etched on to it. The Willy Wonka quote feels like a big cuddle- not sure why, maybe because me and my siblings used to love watching it together.

I'd love for you to comment on your favourite quotes and if there's a reason behind them too.

Thank you for reading!...
