All Things Are Possible: Thoughts

All Things Are Possible: Pass the Word
Barbara Milo Ohrbach ‘s All Things Are Possible: Pass the Word is a small book with a lot to say. Perhaps that is the way that more books should be. After all, the “world is full of wonderful possibilities.”

The world is full of wonderful possibilities.

There are a variety of sources. Many can lead you to pondering, discussing, or more reading. You might want to look up some of the authors. You might want to read up on them. You might want to learn. To share. To care. You just might.
Some of the quotes have surprising sources, such as Arthur Conan Doyle’s “I never remember feeling tired by work, though idleness exhausts me completely.” Not having checked out all the sources for the quotes, so I trust that the author did.

Life begets life. Energy creates energy. It is by spending oneself that one becomes rich. ~ Sarah Bernhardt.
Some are classics, such as Martin Luther King Jr.’s “The time is always right to do what is right.” Or, “Opportunity often goes unrecognized because it wears overalls and often looks like work,” by unknown.
While others are more humorous such as Will Rogers’ “Even if you’re on the right track you’ll get run over if you just sit there,” or Mark Twain’s “You can’t break a bad habit by throwing it out the window. You’ve got to walk it slowly down the stairs.”
Laugh and the world laughs with you, cry and you cry alone. ~ Eli Wilcox Wheeler
So, get comfortable. You can read it in one sitting. However, you might want to read it in small shots. Better yet, read it, and then read it again. You might even want to blog about it.
I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it. ~ Stephen Leacock.

So many good quotes.

At first, I thought this was a bit cliché. But as I continued to read, I honestly felt uplifted and inspired by some of the quotes she put in there.
