Motivational Quote by Jay Long — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“It was her laughter that made me love her. Her shy inappropriate madness is what made her beautiful.”

“Hopes, wants and wishes, all cast across the night sky with my heart in tow.”

“We put great expectations on our tomorrows when we truly need to rely on ourselves. Far too many overlook personal action, as a means to get things done. Blame is easily passed if one does not hold themselves accountable.”

“The moon stared at me through sprinkled nighttime stardust and I alone smile.”

“Moments caught in time. Simple memories spread out before me. Timeless reminders of how life goes on, even when it feels as if you cannot.”

“Why do you hold back? Is it fear? Fear of what, losing, being judged, pain? All things on earth are temporary. Don’t leave this world in regret.”

“I am creating and defining my own reality.”

“Treat rejections with utter contempt —like they don’t matter.”

“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth a war, is much worse. When a people are used as mere human instruments for firing cannon or thrusting bayonets, in the service and for the selfish purposes of a master, such war degrades a people. A war to protect other human beings against tyrannical injustice; a war to give victory to their own ideas of right and good, and which is their own war, carried on for an honest purpose by their free choice, — is often the means of their regeneration. A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. As long as justice and injustice have not terminated their ever-renewing fight for ascendancy in the affairs of mankind, human beings must be willing, when need is, to do battle for the one against the other.”
