Hello, my friend. Thank you for checking out my post. How was your weekend? Of course I didn’t go anywhere because the weather wasn’t good. I wanted to go out. What a shame!
Today, I’m writing about well-known sayings of great people. Do you know any? If I am experiencing some problems, I always read them because they encourage me to keep positive every time. Sometimes they inspire me.
Now, I will introduce some. I will be happy for you if you find them useful.

“If you can dream it, you can do it.”- Walt Disney (American animation industry)
“It always seems impossible until it’s done.”- Nelson Mandela (an African statesman)

Hi! My name is Valentina. I read your article. It’s very interesting for me. Phrases that help us think positive when I’m not feeling 100% well. I like the phrase “If you can dream it, you can do it.”- Walt Disney (American animation industry). Recently I read a book and my favorite phrase is “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost.
hello Junpei-san! Congratulations on your graduation:)
sometime I read quotes from famous people and that gives me new vocabulary.
that gives me more motivation to learn English.
I’ll give you my favorite words
” I will prepare and some day my chance will come.”
by Abraham Lincoln.
Such a great article it is. I really like to find well-known sayings which I haven’t heard before.
These are one of my favorite sayings:
“Today, which you have spent idly, is the tomorrow of somebody who died yesterday and was desperate to live.”
“Kites rise highest against the wind – not with it.”
Anyway, congratulations on your graduation. I miss two of Japanese who always post a blog, Sayuri and Jumpei. I will keep reading all of the blogs that are posted.
