Congratulations again to Iannou for successfully solving last week's puzzle. For the answer, please see below.
Identify the three letters that have been removed from the quotes below:
1. Acion is a ga so and build of confidnc. Inacion is not only h sul, bu h caus, of fa. Phaps h acion you ak will b succssful; phaps diffn acion o adjusmns will hav o follow. Bu any acion is b han no acion a all.
2. Pay is a hough, a blif, a fling, aising wihin h mind of h on paying.
The answer is r, e, and t:
1. Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all.
-Norman Vincent Peale
2. Prayer is a thought, a belief, a feeling, arising within the mind of the one praying.
-Ernest Holmes

This was a real toughie!
I think the missing letters are e,r, and t.
This is my attempt to recreate the quotations:
1. Action is a great store and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all.
2. Prayer is a thought, a belief, a feeling, arising within the mind of the one praying.
Iannou: I'm glad that proved to be a little more difficult--you obviously need a challenge;-)
I do enjoy the puzzles a lot, Veronica :)
I can't claim complete victory on this one, though. I guessed the missing letters correctly, but after I submitted my response, I googled the quotes and I found out I didn't get the first one quite right.
So, maybe the point should go to whoever (ok, whomever) can get the all the words right -- without googling it, of course ;)
Hint: "so" is not "store" as I guessed.
Iannou: I must admit, I didn't check the specific answer after I found that you had the missing letters correct. Yes, googling is cheating--I'll have to stop using quotations!
I kept thinking about this puzzle for an hour. Iannou got it right Veronica. I can't find any wrong with it. Right Iannou? You are smart Iannou. Congrats
Thanks, Evitha
Yes, I also thought it looked right when I submitted it. But the actual quote, which I found on the web afterwards is "Action is a great restorer, and builder of confidence ..."
I know it wasn't necessary to complete the entire quotation to figure out which letters were missing, but it was an interesting challenge.
I do word puzzles all the time, just for fun. I'll try to resist answering right away next time and give someone else a chance to solve it first.
Evitha: I had to make this one harder as the others proved to be too easy for Iannou;-) But, as he admits, he didn't get it completely right the first time.
Iannou: Next time, do all of the other activities first!
