Last day of the quotes challenge – With a shout out to Smile Circulation for the nomination

My quotes today are:

“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.”
― Helen Keller

“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.”
― Dr. Seuss

*Reminder* Rules for the challenge are…
1. Post 3 of your favourite quotes each per day for 3 recurrent days. The quotes can be of any other people or it may come straight from your own heart.
2. Nominate 3 or more bloggers with each post to challenge them.
3. Don’t forget to utter a thankful word to the person who nominated you.

I thought it was best to leave my no 3 unanswered as I wasn’t sure who would want to do this however, if you fancy giving it a whirl then – I nominate you! 😀

I love to see a new batch of quotes popping up 🙂

Challenge, Community, Motivation, Quotes

Some of you might have noticed the quotes challenge being passed around and I thought I would pin up mine too.

Thanks to Smile Circulation for the nomination

My chosen quotes are –

“It is not the most intellectual of the species that survives; it is not the strongest that survives; but the species that survives is the one that is able to adapt”
Megginson, L. C. (1963) – (Discussing Darwin’s writing)

 “Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.”
Albert Einstein

 “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass…It’s about learning to dance in the rain.”
Vivian Greene

I wasn’t sure about picking people for nominations due to peoples’s workloads or not fitting in with blogs so if you want to tag on your quotes – Then I choose you! 😀
