Who is Laura Teresa Marquez?

Answer 1

Laura Teresa Marquez is a modern day mystic and author with deep wisdom, insight and compassion. She is currently quoted in thousands of blogs and websites, especially those sites matching her quotes to artistic photos. For example, one site, Flickr.com, shows over 400 artistic photos matched to Laura's quotes. Also, Laura is quoted in the book, The Reflective Counselor, Daily Meditations for Lawyers, by F. Gregory Coffey and Maureen C. Kessler. Laura is the daughter of the poet and writer, Gilbert Marquez, and grew up in El Paso, Texas, where she still lives. Her primary interest is in working with troubled children and her dream is to open "The Laura Marquez Center for Childhood Fulfillment". Laura's internet exposure started when she began sharing her spiritual and motivational thoughts with a friend in early morning conversations. The friend believed the thoughts and wording to be exceptional and posted some of the thoughts as quotes on the internet. From those original postings, others found and reproduced the quotes. Two quotes widely reproduced are: "Arrogance and rudeness are training wheels on the bicycle of life, for weak people who cannot keep their balance without them." and "If you can live by the best inside yourself, the worst outside yourself will crumble at your feet."
