Author Description

What's so fascinating about a quote or a statement that you hear, that would motivate someone to want to write a book with the words one has collected? First, I would strongly argue that having a list of quotes or "Words to Ponder" has come in handy for me a few times. I remember being at a funeral and the minister closed the service with these words, "God gives us memories, so we can have roses in December". That quote really struck me and several years later, I used those words when I was asked to speak at my grandfather's funeral. Second of all, we should all spend a few minutes each day reflecting and challenging ourselves. Many of the quotes that I have come across have simply done that for me, they made me think, ponder and at times question the quote. I can only hope that each time that has occurred, that I have become a more thoughtful person. Finally, I hope this inspires you to read more and often. The majority of the quotes or statements that I have come across have come simply from books that I was reading at the time. By reading new material every day not only will your thoughts and dreams grow, but also your vocabulary and your passions.
