Quotes from Life's Golden Ticket: An Inspirational Novel

“Grant me the strength to focus this week, to be mindful and present, to serve with excellence, to be a force of love.”
― Brendon Burchard, quote from Life's Golden Ticket: An Inspirational Novel

“In life, the path of least resistance is always silence. If you don’t express your feelings and thoughts to others, you don’t have to deal with their reactions to it. You don’t have to feel vulnerable. You don’t risk rejection. But I’ll tell you what: the path of least resistance leads exactly where that ride leads to.” He pointed again to the carts looping around the track. “Nowhere.”
― Brendon Burchard, quote from Life's Golden Ticket: An Inspirational Novel

“Here we go. Another step. Small, bold steps. That’s how you change. You must take another step.”
― Brendon Burchard, quote from Life's Golden Ticket: An Inspirational Novel

“But if you don’t decide what you want in life, you can’t change your course to get it. No goals, no growth. No clarity, no change. I’m sorry.”
― Brendon Burchard, quote from Life's Golden Ticket: An Inspirational Novel

“You let the themes in your life become your beliefs, and you let those beliefs guide your behaviors.”
― Brendon Burchard, quote from Life's Golden Ticket: An Inspirational Novel

“Don’t you dare settle for anything other than the life you want to live. Look at your life. Look at every area. See what you need to stop doing and what you need to start, and do it while you still can, no matter how hard it is.”
― Brendon Burchard, quote from Life's Golden Ticket: An Inspirational Novel

Popular quotes

“Some say that Love, at sight of human ties, Spreads his light wings and in a moment flies.”
― Antoine François Prévost, quote from Manon Lescaut

“In the arc of an unremarkable life, a life whose triumphs are small and personal, whose trials are ordinary enough, as tempered in their pain as in their resolution of pain, the claim of exclusivity in love requires both a certain kind of courage and a good dose of delusion.”
― Alice McDermott, quote from Charming Billy

“Always remember that your future is determined by what you do today, not tomorrow.”
― Robert T. Kiyosaki, quote from Rich Dad's Retire Young, Retire Rich: How to Get Rich Quickly and Stay Rich Forever!

“La idea de la muerte llega siempre con paso de lobo, con andares de
culebra, como todas las peores imaginaciones. Nunca de repente llegan
las ideas que nos trastornan; lo repentino ahoga unos momentos, pero
nos deja, al marchar, largos años de vida por delante. Los pensamientos
que nos enloquecen con la peor de las locuras, la de la tristeza, siempre
llegan poco a poco y como sin sentir, como sin sentir invade la niebla los
campos, o la tisis los pechos. Avanza, fatal, incansable, pero lenta,
despaciosa, regular como el pulso. Hoy no la notamos; a lo mejor
mañana tampoco, ni pasado mañana, ni en un mes entero. Pero pasa ese
mes y empezamos a sentir amarga la comida, como doloroso el
recordar, ya estamos picados. Al correr de los días y las noches nos
vamos volviendo huraños, solitarios; en nuestra cabeza se cuecen las
ideas, las ideas que han de ocasionar el que nos corten la cabeza donde
se cocieron, quién sabe si para que no siga trabajando tan atrozmente.
Pasamos a lo mejor hasta semanas enteras sin variar; los que nos
rodean se acostumbraron ya a nuestra adustez y ya ni extrañan siquiera
nuestro extraño ser. Pero un día el mal crece, como los árboles, y
engorda, y ya no saludamos a la gente; y vuelven a sentirnos como raros
y como enamorados. Vamos enflaqueciendo, enflaqueciendo, y nuestra
barba hirsuta es cada vez más lacia. Empezamos a sentir el odio que nos
mata; ya no aguantamos el mirar; nos duele la conciencia, pero ¡no
importa!, ¡más vale que duela! Nos escuecen los ojos, que se llenan de
agua venenosa cuando miramos fuerte. El enemigo nota nuestro anhelo,
pero está confiado; el instinto no miente. (...) Cuando huimos como las
corzas, cuando el oído sobresalta nuestros sueños, estamos ya minados
por el mal; ya no hay solución, ya no hay arreglo posible. Empezamos a
caer, vertiginosamente ya, para no volvernos a levantar de vida. Quizás
para levantarnos un poco a última hora, antes de caer de cabeza hasta
el infierno... Mala cosa.”
― Camilo José Cela, quote from The Family of Pascual Duarte

“I already read everything. I read poems and plays and novels and newspapers and comic books and magazines. I read tins in supermarkets and leaflets that come through the door, unsolicited mail. None of it lasts long and it doesn't give me answers. Reading too fast is not soothing.”
― Janice Galloway, quote from The Trick is to Keep Breathing

About BookQuoters

BookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, memorable and interesting quotes from great books. As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.

We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking. Each quote represents a book that is interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to the BookQuoters community.

Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.
