Bob Ross was a gentle man who not only found joy in painting, but in life itself. Sometimes when things don’t go as planned, we try too hard to make them like they were. This not only takes the mystery out of life, but can prevent us from discovering new paths.

These insightful quotes from Bob will give you a new perspective on the beauty and potential hidden all around and within you…

It’s hard to see things when you are too close. Take a step back and look.
You need the dark in order to show the light.
The secret to doing anything is believing that you can do it. Anything that you believe you can do strong enough, you can do. Anything. As long as you believe.
Don’t forget to make all these little things individuals — all of them special in their own way.
Look around. Look at what we have. Beauty is everywhere—you only have to look to see it.
Go out on a limb. That’s where the fruit is.
We don’t make mistakes, just happy little accidents.

No person ever conceived was a mistake. Embrace the humanity of every child and show them the joy of life.

  1. He was a great artist, we had fun watching him when we were still living at home. Didn’t remember that he had wise sayings….

    A “crisis” pregnancy, is not the big issue many make it out to be. Everything happens for a reason. God doesn’t make mistakes, he knew us before we were even formed. Like you said, no human being concieved is ever a mistake……….
