Re: Best Quotations Wanted! $25 Coupon for winner!
Well I also am surprised others did not chime in but it certainly was bumped up enough. Maybe someone should win now as it was stated and then the person can make sure they add on here how many fantastic choices they had to pick from with the 25.00 coupon. Maybe next time others will take more notice when a contest is added.
Guess what I'm saying is to be fair the contest should follow whatever was stated. Of course if an admin wins that person could put the certificate up again for another contest and then maybe others will start to take notice? ( I love contests) lol

In any case, this being the last day of May, there's still time to post your favorite quotes..
A stand can be made against invasion by an army; no stand can be made against invasion by an idea.
-Victor Hugo, Histoire d'un Crime (written 1851-2, published 1877) pt. 5, sect 10
An idea is salvation by imagination.
-Frank Lloyd Wright
Albert Einstein:
Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value.
Arie de Gues:
Your ability to learn faster than your competition is your only sustainable competitive advantage.
Barack Obama:
Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. And it will leave you unfulfilled.
Benjamin Franklin:
There are no gains without pains.

Quote:
At the end of May Summer Snow will choose their favorite and the author will get a $25 gift certificate for use on the new site.
It's almost midnight, didn't see a extension so guessing anyone that wants to add a quote or two or three..better do so quickly. Not long before May is gone and on to June.

Here are more entries in the hopes that we'll have another June contest:
Change your thoughts and you change your world.
Norman Vincent Peale
Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it. Establish your priorities and go to work. H.L. Hunt
If you want your life to be more rewarding, you have to change the way you think.
Oprah Winfrey, O Magazine
Everything is connected... no one thing can change by itself.
Paul Hawken
Economics is psychology with a dollar sign.
Keith Klein
Time does not change us. It just unfolds us.
Max Frisch
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. Margaret Mead
Never again clutter your days or nights with so many menial and unimportant things that you have no time to accept a real challenge when it comes along. This applies to play as well as work. A day merely survived is no cause for celebration. You are not here to fritter away your precious hours when you have the ability to accomplish so much by making a slight change in your routine. No more busy work. No more hiding from success. Leave time, leave space, to grow. Now. Now! Not tomorrow!
Og Mandino (1923 - 1996)
Re: Best Quotations Wanted! $25 Coupon for winner!
All of the following are from Og Mandino.
Each failure to sell will increase your chances for success at your next attempt.
Og Mandino
Always render more and better service than is expected of you, no matter what your task may be.
Og Mandino
Always seek out the seed of triumph in every adversity. Og Mandino
Cherish each hour of this day for it can never return.
Og Mandino
Count your blessings. Once you realize how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return, the sun will break out, the music will play, and you will finally be able to move forward the life that God intended for you with grace, strength, courage, and confidence.
Og Mandino
Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster. Your life will never be the same again.
Og Mandino
Do not listen to those who weep and complain, for their disease is contagious. Og Mandino
Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.
Og Mandino
I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain, not to shrink to a grain of sand. Henceforth will I apply ALL my efforts to become the highest mountain of all and I will strain my potential until it cries for mercy. Og Mandino
I seek constantly to improve my manners and graces, for they are the sugar to which all are attracted.
Og Mandino
I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness for it shows me the stars. Og Mandino
I will not allow yesterday's success to lull me into today's complacency, for this is the great foundation of failure.
Og Mandino
It is those who concentrate on but one thing at a time who advance in this world. The great man or woman is the one who never steps outside his or her specialty or foolishly dissipates his or her individuality. Og Mandino
Love doesn't sit there like a stone, it has to be made, like bread: remade all the time, made new.
Og Mandino
Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.
Og Mandino
Sound character provides the power with which a person may ride the emergencies of life instead of being overwhelmed by them. Failure is... the highway to success. Og Mandino
Take the attitude of a student, never be too big to ask questions, never know too much to learn something new.
Og Mandino
The person who knows one thing and does it better than anyone else, even if it only be the art of raising lentils, receives the crown he merits. If he raises all his energy to that end, he is a benefactor of mankind and its rewarded as such. Og Mandino
The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting goals and achieving them. Even the most tedious chore will become endurable as you parade through each day convinced that every task, no matter how menial or boring, brings you closer to fulfilling your dreams.
Og Mandino
To be always intending to make a new and better life but never to find time to set about it is as to put off eating and drinking and sleeping from one day to the next until you're dead. Og Mandino
To do anything truly worth doing, I must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in with gusto and scramble through as well as I can.
Og Mandino
Treasure the love you have received above all. It will survive long after your gold and good health have vanished.
Og Mandino

I think it should be extended in the hopes some regular members will join in and not just staff, admins, or mods..

Added info for the June contest to the first post in the thread.
Clarification here please:
Dave asked for an extension, of which I was assuming he meant the original contest from May.
You stated that his wish is granted.
Then it went on to talk about the June contest and the first post.
So, is the May contest done? Will a winner be posted and then a new June contest has been added? That works for me since it seems to follow a set of rules for contests (the first contest was stated for May only). And it would be great if this could be like a phase II of the contest.
Thanks for any additional info you can add to clear this up.
