Quotes to Inspire Your November – Garys Monthly Gems
Welcome November – the month during which …
– the Erie and Suez Canals opened
– Lincoln gave his famous Gettysburg address
– we passed GO in Monopoly for the first time
– push-button phones were first introduced
– King Tutankhamen’s tomb was opened, and
– Toulouse-Lautrec, Mark Twain & Winston Churchill were born.
Needless to say, it belongs to all Scorpios and Sagittarians, whether famous, infamous or somewhere in between.
So whether you celebrate it as November or as Movember, here are a few “Inspirational Gems” to get it off to a great start!
'The habit of being happy enables one to be freed, or largely freed, from the domination of outward conditions.'Click To Tweet– Robert Louis Stevenson
And the thought I’d like to leave you with this month is:
“Let me explain a couple of things.
Time is short. That’s the first thing.
For the weasel, time is a weasel.
For the hero, time is heroic.
For the whore, time is just another trick.
If you’re gentle, your time is gentle.
If you’re in a hurry, time flies.
Time is a servant if you are its master.
Time is your god if you are its dog.
We are the creators of time, the victims of time, and the killers of time.
Time is timeless.
That’s the second thing.
You are the clock.”
– The character of Emit Fiesti (anagram for Time itself) … from the movie Faraway so Close … by Wim Wenders
Love the new format…thanks for the gems
I look forward to the first of the month to see what’s in your selection…..have a great month.
Thanks Michael and … you’re welcome! You too, have a super November!
Gary, thank you so much for sharing your Gems each month. I just don’t know how you find the time with all the différents hats that you wear! See you at the upcoming SPCA UTOPIA Fundraiser 2017! XOXO
You’re most welcome China. Whenever something is a passion we always seem to find the time! Can’t wait to catch up next week at the SPCA gala!! Indeed, i24 Call Management Solutions is a corporate sponsor … such wonderful people for such a wonderful cause. And, an outstanding event!
Thank you Gary
Reading your “gems” is always a fabulous way to start a new month! I am grateful….
Hi Pauline, always a pleasure to hear it and to hear from you! Have a super November!!
Thank you my friend, for taking the time to post these wonderful quotes. I too look forward to them. I passed along the one about gratitude at the end of my lunch-hour yoga class today and the instructor and one of my colleagues were so taken with it they wanted the email to be sent to them, so I did. And so it grows.
Hi Carrie, you’re most welcome, glad to hear you enjoy! Yes, paying it forward … it’s the best “pay” day bar none! Have yourself a super November!
Hello Garry! My friend Carrie Earl passed along your most excellent and inspirational November quotes, which I found very uplifting. Could you please add my email address to your monthly mailing list? Thank you, Sandra Kuze
Hi Sandra, nice meeting you, albeit virtually! Glad to hear you enjoyed them. I’m always touched to know that someone I send the Gems to continues to pay them forward. That’s the real power to them – shared connection. No worries, consider yourself added to the “Gems” as of now! Be looking out the 1st of each month for me! 🙂
Cheers
Gary
