Quotabili-TEA : a Visual

He that hath knowledge spareth his words: (Proverbs 17:27, KJV)

In my opinion, folks with top-notch writing ability can say the most with the fewest words.
Pithy with a punch. For me, nothing jogs my memory better than a pithy quote......whether it's written in my Bible maginalia, my journal or seen on a creative craft.
Quotabili-TEA---good quotes, great pithy quotes, quotes worth sharing. From spiritual or intellectual to relational and funny.
Often, as the saying goes, a picture is worth a 1,000 words.

  • We must allow ourselves to be interrupted by God. (Bonhoeffer)
  • All of life must be given to the Lord----spiritual and secular are not separate. (1/1990 Serendipity Bible)
  • I am afraid that the schools will prove the very gates of hell, unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures and engraving them in the heart of the youth (Martin Luther)

Humility---this highway doesn't have too much traffic in politics (7/2006, Howard Clark)

  • Sooner or later even the upbeat soul gets beat up by life (R.Morgan, The Promise, p,.2)
  • "Life huggers"--people who hang on to this world because they think this is it. (Richard Paul Evans)

Somethings do require cake---but at Blackberry Farm one might substitute pecan pie, fudge, iced brownies or Dove Bars.
Cuppa Locali-TEA in a quote---
Tea definition--

  • No two persons ever read the same book. (Edmund Wilson)
  • There's no such thing as a good book written just for children. If it's good, any age can enjoy it. (Dotsy)


So many quotes so little time and space----My Bibles are filled with quotes.....as is the internet. But.....these are the ones that ring true with me and my cuppa quotabili-TEA to share with others.
