This had got to be one of the best quotes around:


If you have made mistakes...
There is always another chance for you...
You may have a fresh start any moment you choose,
For this thing we call "failure" is not the falling down,
But the staying down.

Mary Pickford (1893-1979) Canadian Actress


Anyone else have one to share with us?

This is an oldy but goody! My all time favorite quote.


It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves.
- Sir Edmund Hillary, Mountain climber and Antarctic explorer

Mark Twain
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

-that's a good one too, and so true!!


If only I would take more chances....I really am not a thrill seeker in any way, heck even my dreams are lame, lol! You know the dream when you're falling? Well, being the BIG risk taker I am, I don't fall from a cliff or anything dramatic like that, I fall from the curb!! LOL Seriously, I need to remind myself that taking a risk every now and then might be worth it!


-Thanks for the quote ;-)

Another one to add:


The person who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.
Chinese proverb
