Famous Quotes & Sayings

Raymond Carver

Stop watering things that were never meant to grow in your life. Water what works, what's good, what's right. Stop playing around with those dead bones and stuff you can't fix, its over...leave it alone! You're coming into a season of greatness. If you water what's alive and divine, you will see harvest like you've never seen before. Stop wasting water on dead issues, dead relationships, dead people, a dead past. No matter how much you water concrete, you can't grow a garden.

At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless; Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is, But neither arrest nor movement.

Except for the point, the still point, There would be no dance, and there is only the dance.

Rose Kennedy

When I think of my past, I try to dwell on the good times, the happy moments, and not to be haunted by the bad. . .

Thus, I try to think of the good that I have already experienced and what will still be coming.

Ronnie Dunn

I carry my own film guys with me now. People think that's a huge expense, but with technology like it is these days, it's not.

I can do ten videos for a project for the price of one mainstream video in the past.

When a big change occurs in your life it forces you to change direction. Sometimes the new path may not be easy, but you can be absolutely certain that there is magnificence for you on the new path. You can be absolutely certain that the new path contains things that you could not have experienced otherwise. When we look back at a negative event that occurred in the past, we often see how in fact it transformed our life. We see how that event directed us toward a life that we would not change for anything.
