Welcome to my MARIDADI PETER BLOGSPORT of inspiration and motivational quotations reading and collecting books of quotations is one of my hobbies, whenever I’m feeling down or have a looming personal problems I turn to my books for some inspiration and words of wisdom.

the quotes in each of the categories listed below are some of my personal favorites that I have collected over the years’ I hope you will enjoy them as much as I do.

 Always have a book at hand, in the parlor, on the table, for the family; a book of condensed thought and striking anecdote, of sound maxims and truthful apothegms. It will impress on your own mind a thousand valuable suggestions, and teach your children a thousand lessons of truth and duty. Such a book is a casket of jewels for your housebold
