The past couple years my good friend Aubrie has sent me a calendar called The Art of Success. It has a pretty picture each month, but best of all, I love the monthly quotes. They've been a source of inspiration for me throughout the year, so I'd like share the quotes of 2014's The Art of Success calendar.

Great calendar. The March quote is exactly the reminder I need right now.
I like the April quote best. Sounds like a good idea for a short story.
September is my favorite. It's how I like to view life.
Sounds like it's been a great year. Best of luck on the pre-sale!
Cherie, this was PERFECT. I love the quotes. Thank you!
Like everyone else, I love quotes. Thank you Cherie!!!
I loved, "Success is a journey, not a destination."
Those were some great quotes!
Everyone here has inspired me this year.
holy crap, it didn't even occur to me that this is the last IWSG post of 2014. The year went super fast
Love the quotes! And me, too ... I didn't even realize this was the last #ISWG post for 2014.
What's inspired me is all my writer friends who have published this year. Give me a goal to shoot for.
Those are really inspiring quotes. A lovely gift that keeps on giving.
Now that I've given in to the darkside, I will definitely preorder Foxwick for my new Kindle. :)
I love the quote for March.
Having such great quotes would be inspirational. The blogging community keeps on inspiring me.
That's an awesome calendar. And I have to keep reminding myself of that last one. It is better to fall short of a high mark than to reach a low one. You always set the bar high for yourself. That's an inspiration to me! :)
I like October because it says I should nap. ;)
Wonderful quotes. Thanks for sharing!
oh, that's a wonderful and inspiring calendar to have! :-)
I like the February and March quotes. Funny to think that enough water drops can carve up a stone, even if it takes millennia. Still, it works!
I did not expect to see a Dolly Parton quote in there, lol! What a neat gift from a friend. Words are powerful!
I love these quotes! I especially love September and December! Such wise words. :) Thanks for sharing and inspiring us.

I loved all of the quotes :). December's really struck me, but they were all very good. Hope you have a great holiday!

That calendar sure beats the learn-a-new-word-every-day one. We all can use as much inspiration as we can get. :)
I love this, Cherie. It's nice to be reminded of such inspiring words, especially words like "legacy." I loved the quote and I think it's desperately needed in this day and age. Instead of everyone having so much hatred and anger toward one another, we should all be leaving little drops of our legacy so we can make this world a better and more creative place.
I'll check into this. I love inspirational quotes and I'm always looking for a great calendar!
I'm a sucker for a good quote and I loved all of those. Thanks for sharing!
I, too, am a fan for quotes. doesn't mean I apply them but they make me feel good and say ah-ha!
Beautiful quotes! Much of my writing this year has been inspired by books I've read, conversations I've had, and blog posts I've read in which authors share their goals - like your posts! :)
I love all these quotes. Just perfect.
That's a wonderful calendar. I love December's word, since that's what I'm feeling.
Wow, so many great quotes! The one listed for May is especially lovely... :)
