Inspirational Quotes

I gave these quotes to members of my writing group, along with gift certificates to my favorite cupcake shop so each of them can celebrate a writing achievement in 2013, big or small.

Then the time came

when the risk it took

to remain tight in a bud

was more painful than

the risk it took to blossom.

--Anais Nin

No great

thing is

created

suddenly

There must

be time. Give

your best

and always

be kind.

--Epictetus

A small daily task,

if it really be daily,

will outdo the labours

of a spasmodic Hercules.

--Anthony Trollope
