They're in movies. They're in books. They're in conversations with friends, family, and even strangers you stand behind in the line at the grocery store. They're coming from your pastor, your kids, your coworkers, and from the loud couple on your daily commute. They're in your facebook feed, at family game night, and forever in your brain if you've come across a catchy one. FOR-EH-VER. See? That was one. (10 points to those who can name where...)
They're quotes and I love them. Maybe because I'm a bibliophile and a film buff.
Quotes can inspire, incite, and ignite. Some of the best can, at least.
Today's seeds are some of my favorite quotes from movies, books, and people. Enjoy!
"What man is a man that does not make the world better"~ Kingdom of Heaven, 2005
"Skate to where the puck is going, not where it has been"~ Wayne Gretzky
"...Every breath is a second chance..."~ Switchfoot, 'Always'
These quotes, and so many more, really put into perspective what kind of person I want to be and help keep me focused on what truly matters.
Most importantly, God's word is a wealth of "quotes" and verses to feed the mind, body, spirit, and soul. Keep calm & quote on, my beloved readers.
Some favorite verses include:
My heart overflows with a good theme;
I address my psalm to the King.
My tongue is like the pen of a skillful writer.
Psalm 45:1
So submit to [the authority of] God.
Resist the devil [stand firm against him]
and he will flee from you.
James 4:7
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Matthew 28:19
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow,
nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain:
for the former things are passed away.
Revelation 21:4
As with the quotes, there are many other scriptures that speak to me as well. It's important to note that just quoting something is one thing, you must also put into practice what you preach to reach desired accomplishments. Or, in other words, study to show yourself approved.

Not just lip service, but live it.
