The news makes me sad today. People have lost their lives and the east coast of North America is in chaos. In reality, this actually happens all the time around the world – often to a much worse degree – but the media don’t report it in the same way. The positive is that it has served as a huge reminder of what devastation really is.

Tackling Our Debt says
October 30, 2012 at 7:37 pmSweet post!
The east coast is a mess and I bet the news channels are only showing half the story. Apparently New Jersey was hit the worst with train tracks and vehicles literally washed away.

October 30, 2012 at 10:54 pmI always have to remind myself of quotes like the ship one….so that’s my favorite. Great post! I needed this one today, dude. Either quotes or a beer….maybe both.

DC @ Young Adult Money says
October 31, 2012 at 12:53 amThese are some great quotes. I especially like “Do not give up, the beginning is always the hardest”

Joe Cassandra says
October 31, 2012 at 12:57 amGreat time for these quotes! Definitely like E….the beginning of anything meaningful is hard. Just for me, it took a while to even start my site, then now marketing it is hard..but its worth it.
Cheers!

October 31, 2012 at 8:16 amHey Joe… Good example. I think the middle is hard too with sites.. 6 months in you get that dip in momentum and it is often where a lot of new bloggers fail!
Pauline says
October 31, 2012 at 12:58 amI like the ship one too. I hope that storm goes away soon.

Canadianbudgetbinder says
October 31, 2012 at 3:31 amI actually pinned a couple of those. My favourite is The happiest people don’t have the best of everything – they just make the best of everything. Life can throw us curve balls when we least expect just like what’s happened with Hurricane Sandy and all those that have lost their lives, the damage and then some. YOLO.. you only live once so no matter what we have, how much we have, we make the best of it… we don’t take this precious life for granted. Cheers mate. Mr.CBB

October 31, 2012 at 8:19 amMR CBB! You chose the same as me! I completely agree with the mantra YOLO! Hence why I am the first to advocate to NOT save all your money and buy things if they truly make you happy! 🙂
Tie the Money Knot says
October 31, 2012 at 4:44 amAll great. I like Photo D, talking about how people not having the best of everything, but making the best of it, are the happiest. Good stuff.
I also liked the first one, except for the spend all your cash part:)
Anyway, positive motivational quotes are good to help us keep perspective during some crazy times such as this.

October 31, 2012 at 8:19 amYeh the spend all your cash thing kind of goes against what SavvyScot is trying to preach about! I liked all the other phrases too much to leave it out though 🙂

October 31, 2012 at 8:34 amIt’s a bit sombre, but I love this one from Mill: “I have learned to seek my happiness by limiting my desires, rather than in attempting to satisfy them.”

Glen @ Monster Piggy Bank says
October 31, 2012 at 11:01 amI wish I could be profound enough to come up with one of these 🙁
I’m liking Mark Twains the best, I think I need to print it out and put it next to my monitor at work.

Veronica @ Pelican on Money says
October 31, 2012 at 4:32 pmTo be honest, I’m not a big fan of motivational quotes. But I guess when you’re really down and feel like the world has something against you, a good quote can’t hurt to cheer you up.
