| Summary |
"Hand-lettered inspiration from the beloved indie artist and bestselling author of Whatever You Are, Be a Good One. A treasure trove of inspiring quotations, this volume from beloved author and artist Lisa Congdon gathers rousing wisdom from history's great minds on how to be bold, stay strong, and take courage. Congdon lends her signature style of brilliant hand lettering to sage advice on such subjects as perseverance ("If you fell down yesterday, stand up today" -- H.G. Wells), authenticity ("What should I be but just what I am?" -- Edna St. Vincent Millay), and confronting fear ("Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced" -- James Baldwin). Filled with uplifting reminders to seize the day, Fortune Favors the Brave demonstrates that when embarking on a new adventure, the right words of encouragement can be a priceless gift. Praise for Whatever You Are, Be a Good One "An impossibly charming compendium... The common thread underpinning these quotes... is Congdon's own sensibility about what it means to live with kindness and integrity, to cherish beauty and the creative spirit, and ultimately to be a good human being." -- Brain Pickings "This beautifully hand-lettered book shares 100 inspirational quotations from great minds such as Oscar Wilde, George Eliot, and Walt Whitman. Revisit this colorful read whenever you need a pick-me-up -- or a push -- to get out there and make the most of your day." -- Real Simple"-- Provided by Freading. |
