My favorite quote (which is on the front of my planner so I can be reminded everyday) is from Gordon B. Hinckley: "In all of living, have much fun and laughter, life is to be enjoyed, not just endured."

[Natalie Laney]

Who so loves believes the impossible.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Jim Elliot is one of my favorites, here are a couple of his quotes...

He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose.
Jim Elliot

Wherever you are - be all there.
Jim Elliot

“The sound of 'gentle stillness' after all the thunder and wind have passed will the ultimate Word from God.”
Jim Elliot

This is not the best quote I know, but one that I find I think about a great deal anymore....seems to help me get out of some of the "bad" situation I have been in lately! :)
"You can say anything about me that you please...but I am what I am and that is something that you will never be!"

[Holly]

"Well behaved women rarely make history"

I've always loved that quote. My mom was a very independent woman. She raised us to believe we could be anything we set our mind to be....I'm raising my girls the same way.

This is my husband and me in a nutshell:

"Love is not finding someone you can live with; love is finding someone you can't live without."

(We're going on 23 years of marriage (25 of knowing each other) and I know I couldn't live without this love of my life.)

I don't know who to credit the quote to, but I'm sure I found it in something scrap-related, as I used it on a LO of my husband and I.
Blessings- Lisa E.

and start a new beginning,
but anyone can start today
and make a new ending."

simple and true from the bottom of my heart:

"I don't want to live. I want to love first, and live incidentally."
Zelda Fitzgerald

O...I like one right now too...although mine change like the wind...today is "Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want"

[Jennifer U]

This is a bit long, but I think worth it! I just found it in a book I am reading. The book, Nurture by Lisa Bevere, the quote by Marianne Williamson.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

I am a huge quote gal...nearly every one of my blog posts end with one. I have post it notes and saved quotes on my computer screen *snicker*
but one has been with me since a small child......"The two best times to keep your mouth shut....is when you are swimming and when you are angry."
Be blessed!

oh, I have a sort of tounge twister. I'm not sure if it's even properly remembered, but this is what runs through my mind every once in a while and it makes me not think too hard about certain things.

I thought a thought. But the thought I thought, wasn't the thought I thought I thought. If the thought I thought I thought had been the thought I thought I thought, then I wouldn't have thought so much.

[Jewels]

Oh my goodness. Do I really have to narrow it down to ONE?

How about a couple of short ones? ;o)

“Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.” ~Thomas Edison

“As a man thinks in his heart, so he is.”
Proverbs 23:7

“When you come to a fork in the road….Take it” ~Yogi Berra

[Martha]

"The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. To dig for treasures shows not only impatience and greed, but lack of faith. Patience, patience, patience, is what the sea teaches. Patience and faith. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach - waiting for a gift from the sea."
Anne Morrow Lindbergh

My Favorite quote is "Life is not Measured by the number of breaths we take... but by the moments that take our breath away" I just love this on because it reminds me that everyday moments count

[Cathy]

Pull on your big girl panties and deal with it...

[Kate]

My favorite quote comes from Robert Frost (also my favorite poet). It is the last lines of "The Road Not Taken". "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference." It reminds me of my relationship with my husband as many thought it wsa not a good match--we have more than proved them wrong!

[Trina]

Not really sure who said it but one of my favorite quotes is:
"Life is a journey, not a destination."

It always reminds me to slow down, enjoy the ride, and not take anything for granted! Especially in our busy lives nowadays this is so important. We get caught up in how we will feel once we've "arrived" that we don't enjoy the fruits of our labors along the way.

Love seeing all the great quotes today! A lot of them will make their way into my quote book for sure!

And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.-- Abraham Lincoln

[ShellyJ]

My favorite quote right now is one I put on the wall above the crib for my baby due in September. It makes me smile everytime I see it!

"so wake up sleepy one, it's time to save your world"

(It is from DCWV Home's Vinyl Sayings for the wall.)

[Tiffany B.]

This is my all time favorite quote. So true on those good and bad days.

"Do what you feel in your heart to be right - for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't." ~Eleanor Roosevelt

[Tracy]

Hi Melody! Love your blog!

My favorite quote is: "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined. Thoreau

My Ali Edwards quote for the year is create. So I've been finding quotes for my quote book that talk about creativity, imagination and waking those creative powers. I really love this quote by Albert Einstein...
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom the emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause and stand wrapped in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.

[maegan]

OOPS! Forgot to post my name MAEGAN HALL... I had the Gandhi quote.

I love this quote because it gives us a sense of purpose. Don't sit around and complain about it. Get up and do something!
