One of my favorite quotes comes from George Washington Carver, he said,
"How far you go in life, Depends on your being Tender with the young, Compassionate with the aged, Sympathetic with the striving, and Tolerant of the weak & strong; Because someday in your life, You will have been all of these." |

My all time favorite quote comes from Dr.Suess :)
"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own and you know what you know. And you will be the guy who'll decide where you'll go" ~~Dr.Suess~~ |

Bridgette,
I really like that one!! Count on Dr. Suess to get it just right. Got any more?
Bring often the content of your heart, And pour it on my soul, For as my soul refills itself, So does my love for life. |

"Those who wander are not neccesarily lost" ~JRR Tolkien
I have many, but this is one of my favorites! I remember it often, when I feel like I am flailing about. Plus, I have frustrated many people in my life by not chosing "one direction"....so this quote has worked in my defense over the years too!
