    Great sayings for beaders? Need help!

    Hi everyone,

    I'm working on an upcoming free project for Beading Daily on how to add text (words, sayings) to beads.  I am looking for a good, short (maybe 10-12 words max) quote on creativity, imagination, art, or anything that a beader/jewelry maker might like.  I keep finding looooong quotes that I like, nothing short.

    If I use your quote on my sample bead, I'm happy to mail it to you to keep!  But only if you want . . . I won't force anyone to take a free bead. Smile

    Please post your ideas here--I'll come back and check before the weekend.  (I must make my sample beads this weekend!)

    Thanks!

    Hi Michelle ~

    I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for but what about "Beads help focus my creativity!"... and I will admit that this is very true for me & only 5 words so maybe its too shortCool

    I'm not sure what you are needing. But I have pages of quotes that I find and save. Here are a few of the shorter ones.:

     

    Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.
    Confucius

     

     

    Never give a sword to a man who can't dance.
    Confucius

     

    "Gossip is just news running ahead of itself in a red satin dress."

    Wisdom is the quality that keeps you from getting into situations where you need it.

    "Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle" -- Abraham Lincoln

     

    "Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right." - Henry Ford

    Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties.

     

    Martin Luther King Jr.:

    Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted.

     

    Rita Mae Brown:

    Creativity comes from trust. Trust your instincts. And never hope more than you work.

     

    Anne Lamott:

    Joy is the best makeup.

     

    Henry Miller:

    The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself.

     

    John Keats:

    A thing of beauty is a joy forever.

     

    Kahlil Gibran:

    Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.

     There were two that come to mind as I see/use them a ton here:

    Beadaholic

    Bead addict

    A play on those words.

    While growing up  my mother used a couple all the time.

    1: believe nothing that you hear and only half of what you see.

    2: anything worth doing is worth doing right.

    Right on Stan!

    Ok, there's the obvious:  "I'd rather be beading" or "Swarovski (lampwork, dichro, etc) is a beader's best friend"

    My personal favorite quote which is a bit long:  "I don't need to win, you don't have to lose.  We can choose: happiness is an option." -Neil Tennant of Pet Shop Boys

     I love this quote        "Imagination is more important than Knowledge..."    by albert einstein

    the whole quote is:   

    "Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.

    (I would love a free bead with the quote)

     If you are still looking for quotes:

    I don't really have any quotes I can think of off the top of my head, but...

    Holly, you'll want to remove your address and email from your post! (security, and whatnot) I don't want to step on any moderator's toes, I just think it's important. :x

    o.O!
