Nice one there, definitely a true statement.

'If you ponder but don't take action, your dreams remain dreams. Take action and your dreams can take flight'
'If you ponder but don't take action, your dreams remain dreams.Take action and your dreams can take flight'

I got quite excited when I read this line from the book And Then I Met Margaret. This is kinda important to me. It reminds me of someone who happens to say the same idea long ago in my college days. I very loved this line because it suggests striking importance in dealing our greatest aspirations in life.
This quote really stuck with me, because it's a great reminder for my writing career. I've been spending way too much time just dreaming of stories or imagining a future where I've become a published authors, and not enough time doing the everyday actionable work of writing. My books will remain dreams unless I take action and write them.

No matter who you are--rich, poor, successful, struggling, etc.--you have the ability to show compassion. If everyone just showed a bit of compassion, we might truly change the world.
This was my favorite quote as well. Its a simple statement as you said but it is so powerful in how we look at ourselves and how we can improve as human beings.

'Stop ordinary thoughts from reigning in your mind and extraordinary thinking can begin' This quote stayed with me. It made me stop and think.

Did you find that one quote which is impactful? What is that :?:
I love this quote! It emphasizes the need for high expectations for oneself and that hard work doesn’t go unnoticed.

My favorite quote in the book has to be this one- "My exterior world reflected material wealth, but my interior world was spiritually bankrupt."
It is so true that we often forget that real happiness does not lie within money or possessions, but rather in that which money cannot buy.

the quote that actually made me think was...
If a black cat prowls around in your mind, it will stop you from seeing the golden opportunities right in front of you.
It pretty much describes the human psychology during a dilemma. We focus so much on the down side, we sometimes fail to spot the opportunities ahead.

My favorite quote from the book is this: “when my ego declines, I open my mind; and now I find the quickest path to the finish line.” which is what the author learned and corrected the myth he believed: “Sometimes insisting you know is the speed lane to victory.”
This I say is my favorite because it became a very important lesson to me personally.

"And Then I Met Margaret" was eloquently written and there is no shortage of quotes that require a pause, just to appreciate what you've read. That being said, I really liked " "Magic deliberately happens because of me." What an excellent reminder of how powerful thought is in our outlook and in what we attract in life.

This quote is magic by itself. :) This is something to remind myself every day whenever I feel tired or overwhelmed.

My favorite quote would have to be, "Being in the right place is a matter of being in your right place." It's a good reminder not to measure your success or standing against other people, because everyone has different markers of what is right for them.
