Richard Paul Evans People Quotations

Sometimes, when tragedy strikes, people give up hope that they can expect anything more from life, when the real quest is finding out what life expects from them.

There are people who come into our lives as welcome as a cool breeze in summer- and last about as long.

I've never understood why people said 'in your own words.' Who else's words would I use?

I love when I can reboot people when they are being mean to others...

Don't try to write what other people are writing - write what is true to you.

Some people deal with their problems by talking them to death. In fact, some enjoy the execution so much they resurrect their problems just so they can kill them again.-Nathan Hurst

People can become so blinded by their own perceived victimhood that they make victims of everyone around them.

Some people spend so much time hunting treasure that they fail to see it all around them. It's like sifting through gold to find the silt.

People are like books, unknown until they are opened.

People are looking for inspiration, and my books are sometimes the vehicles of what people are looking for.

People aren't wired to be alone. Even in the stressful population of prison, solitary confinement is still considered a cruel punishment.

Some people in this world have stopped looking for beauty, then wonder why their lives are so ugly. Don't be like them. The ability to appreciate beauty is of God. Especially in one another. Look for beauty in everyone you meet, and you'll find it. Everyone carries divinity within them. And everyone we meet has something to impart.

Everyone has problems. It's how you choose to deal with them. Some people choose to be whiners some choose to be winners. Some choose to be victims some choose to be victors.

There are two kinds of people. Those who climb mountains and those who sit in the shadow of the mountains and critique the climbers.

There are people I've yet to meet who are waiting for my path to intersect with theirs, so they can complete their own journeys. I don't know who or where they are, but I know for certain that they are waiting.

There are far too many people for us to think about each of them during our short stay on earth—like the thousands of books in a library we haven’t time to read in an afternoon. But this is no excuse to cease browsing. For every now and then, we find that one book that reaches us deep inside and introduces us to ourselves. And, in someone else’s story, we come to understand our own.
