I love quotes too! I used to collect them in the form of books, paper clippings, you name it. Somewhere along the line I stopped, but I do still love them!

These are a few of my favorites:

"You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do.", Henry Ford, American Auto Manufacturer (1863-1947)

Oh boy. This could be a long list. My friend and I exchange quotes all the time, so I have pages and pages of them.

*We just need someone to step in and tell us we are not alone.
*"Perhaps luck exists somewhere between the world of planning, the world of chance, and the peace that comes from knowing that you just can't know it all... Life's funny like that, once you let go of the wheel, you might end up right where you belong.
*I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge, that myth is more potent than history, that dreams are more powerful than facts, that hope always triumphs over experience, that laughter is the only cure for grief, And I believe that love is stronger than death
*Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.


One of my absolute all time favorites:
You’ll never stand taller than when you stoop to help a child.


Like I said, I love quotes so I could go on and on....
