I was wondering if alll of you could write down your favorite quote weather it be from a book of quotes something someone once told you something your favoite author once sadi whatever.
I want to know what inspires all of you each day something that just sticks in your head motivates you puts a smile on your face whatever it is we each have something that makes us feel good I love quotes I have pages and pages of quotes that I refer to that I tell to others that make me smile give me hope make me believe.
I am probably being a huge cheese ball right now but I believe that words are powerful and thoughts are powerful and that the beauty of the mind is very powerful one thing can change us can turn things around for us and I believe that words have that power.
So anyways I will share some of my favorites with you all but please try to resond to this
"you dont love a woman because she is beautiful, but she is beautiful because you love her."
"All men who have achieved great things have been great dreamers."
-Orison Swett Marden
"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."
-Eleanor Roosevelt
"Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow."
"Enjoy life, there is plenty of time to be dead."
"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future concentrate the mind on the present moment."
-Buddha
"Happiness is a choice that requires effort at times."
"when a door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us."
-Helen Keller
"Most people would rather be certain they are miserable than risk being happy."
Hope you enjoy.

Of course it might be obvious that I like the serenity prayer.
The man who laughs when something goes wrong has found someone else to blame.
"You know better so now you do better" Maya Angelou (sp?)
Last night I dreamed I was a butterfly; or today am I a butterfly dreaming I am a woman?

Love is not blind - it sees more, not less. But because it sees more, it is willing to see less. ~unknown
God didn't promise days without pain,
laughter without sorrow, sun without rain,
but He did promise strength for the day,
comfort for the tears, and light for the way. ~unknown
Dreams permits each of us to be quietly and safely insane each and every night of our lives. (Sounds like me, lol)
Some people have pet peeves...I have major psychotic hatreds. George Carlin
(again, this sounds like me.)
Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves,
the tides, and gravity,
we will harness for God the energies of LOVE
and then for the second time in the history of the world,
we will have discovered FIRE.
"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin.
But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life."
I have more that I really like but I can't get to them right now, they are saved in a subprofile online that is down for the holidays. Have a good day everyone!
Two that I really like are:
"Sometimes you make the right decision and sometimes you make the decision right." -- Dr. Phil
and
"The best thing about the future is that it comes only one day at a time." -- Abraham Lincoln
