Easter Quotes

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

1 Peter 1:3

Jesus replied, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

John 12:23-25

Holiness Quotes

Dignity, and even holiness too, sometimes, are more questions of coat and waistcoat than some people imagine.

 Charles Dickens

It is not because angels are holier than men or devils that makes them angels, but because they do not expect holiness from one another, but from God only.

 William Blake

To desire and expect nothing for oneself and to have profound sympathy for others is genuine holiness.

Ivan Turgenev

Lenten Season Quotes

Let this lent remind us that our life and material possessions are just LENT to us. We’re all passers-by, pilgrims on the road. We bring nothing when we die, but leave behind the LOVE we have shared, the HOPE we have given and the GOODNESS we have done. A BLESSED HOLY WEEK!

We ought not to think of building holiness upon action, we ought to build it upon a way of being. For it is not what we do that makes us holy, but we ought to make holy what we do.

"We all suffer for each other, and gain by each other's suffering; for man never stands alone here, though he will stand alone hereafter; but here is he is a social being, and goes forward to his long home as one of a large company."~Cardinal Newman

Selfie Quotes

Always be a first rate version of yourself and not a second rate version of someone else.

Coco Chanel

I want to think again of dangerous and noble things. I want to be light and frolicsome. I want to be improbable and beautiful and afraid of nothing as though I had wings.

Winston S. Churchill

I think everybody's weird. We should all celebrate our individuality and not be embarrassed or ashamed of it. 

Peter Drucker

You don't need anybody to tell you who you are or what you are. You are what you are!

Margaret Oliphant

Warning - You might fall in love with me.

Freedom Quotes

For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.

Nelson Mandela

I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.

Robert A. Heinlein


We are driven by five genetic needs: survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, and fun.
William Glasser

“Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.”

 Mahatma Gandhi

“When a man is denied the right to live the life he believes in, he has no choice but to become an outlaw.”

 Nelson Mandela

“It’s probably not just by chance that I’m alone. It would be very hard for a man to live with me, unless he’s terribly strong. And if he’s stronger than I, I’m the one who can’t live with him. … I’m neither smart nor stupid, but I don’t think I’m a run-of-the-mill person. I’ve been in business without being a businesswoman, I’ve loved without being a woman made only for love. The two men I’ve loved, I think, will remember me, on earth or in heaven, because men always remember a woman who caused them concern and uneasiness. I’ve done my best, in regard to people and to life, without precepts, but with a taste for justice.”
 Coco Chanel

“Now that she had nothing to lose, she was free.”

 Paulo Coelho, Eleven Minutes

I walked down the aisle in summer to say the wedding vows,
even promised to wipe snow away in winter from your brow.
But remember that if I ever pass away in the season of spring,
I will be waiting patiently for you in heaven with my angel wings.

New Life Quotes

Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.

Anais Nin



Our forces saved the remnants of the Jewish people of Europe for a new life and a new hope in the reborn land of Israel. Along with all men of good will, I salute the young state and wish it well.

Dwight D. Eisenhower

Jesus paid a tremendous price for us so we could have abundant life. He willingly took all of our sin on Himself and gave His life on the cross so we could be forgiven and have new life in Him.

Joyce Meyer


Sometimes I have these fantasies of just moving to a foreign country and coming back with a full head of hair. Or not even come back! Make a new life there with hair... Change my name, just see what happens.

Larry David

Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today?

Mary Manin Morrissey

“The more we let God take us over, the more truly ourselves we become - because He made us. He invented us. He invented all the different people that you and I were intended to be. . .It is when I turn to Christ, when I give up myself to His personality, that I first begin to have a real personality of my own.”

 C.S. Lewis

I used to dream about escaping my ordinary life, but my life was never ordinary. I had simply failed to notice how extraordinary it was. Likewise, I never imagined that home might be something I would miss.”

 Ransom Riggs, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
“A bridge of silver wings stretches from the dead ashes of an unforgiving nightmare
to the jeweled vision of a life started anew.”

 Aberjhani, The River of Winged Dreams



“The chief beauty about time
is that you cannot waste it in advance.
The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you,
as perfect, as unspoiled,
as if you had never wasted or misapplied
a single moment in all your life.
You can turn over a new leaf every hour
if you choose.”

 Arnold Bennett

Lifestyle Quotes

“True rebels hate their own rebellion. They know by experience that it is not a cool and glamorous lifestyle; it takes a courageous fool to say things that have not been said and to do things that have not been done.”
― Criss Jami, Venus in Arms


“Find a purpose to serve, not a lifestyle to live.”
― Criss Jami, Venus in Arms


“Man who hates cats is insecure, but a man who likes them is one worth keeping. If he can appreciate a cat, he can appreciate a strong, independent woman.”
― Larissa Ione, Passion Unleashed


“Why was it considered normal for a girl to live for fashion and makeup, but not car engines or bugs? And what about sports fanatics? My mom had a boyfriend who would flip out if he missed even a minute of a football game. Wouldn't that be what doctors considered autistic behavior?”
― Tara Kelly, Harmonic Feedback
