I just keep going back, back, back to MaryJane's Ideabook Cookbook Lifebook. For so many different reasons. It has so much wisdom (among other things) to offer.
In the chapter, "Each Other" she writes, 'The "other" part of "each other" is easier if you decide that people matter, no matter what.' (page 31)
Isn't that an awesome quote?
Is there a MJ Farmgirl quote that particularly speaks to you today? Or a quote by someone else?
MaryJane also quotes George Eliot on the opposite page, "What do you live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?"

Mary Jane's book is my 'gurlfren bible' .. i refer to it often and am always showin' and tellin' it!

i think one of my most favorite quotes i've ever heard was by philosopher Joseph Campbell:

FOLLOW YOUR BLISS

i have found this to be some of the best advice i've ever heard. xo

My all time favorite:
What would you attempt to do, if you knew you could not fail - anon

I love deadlines. I especially like the whooshing sound they make as they go flying by. ~anon

One of my pet peeves is when someone stands by watching others work and complains about the job they do. Thus, one of my favs.... Abraham Lincoln said, "Those who have a heart to help, have a right to criticize".

I will sing at the top of my lungs, and I will dance even if I'm the only one...

When I'm frustrated, I quote Jeff Dunham....."If you squeeze a Smurf really hard, what color does it turn?" Or I quote Achmed, the Dead Terrorist (also Jeff Dunham) "Silence, I kill you!" You gotta check him out to understand.

here's another one that was in the signature line of an e-mail sent to me today that i really like a lot:

"If you want others to be happy, practice compassion.
If you want to be happy, practice compassion."
