"If you make a choice that doesn't please your mate, friend, or whoever, the world will not fall apart" - Oprah
" 'No' is a complete sentence" Joan C Webb
I'm sure there are more....I just can't think of them right now, or find them!

Life isn't about finding yourself. It's about creating yourself.

I ask not for a larger garden, but for finer seeds.

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

These are great! Thanks for sharing. I have a "favorite quote" journal and would love to add some new ones.

Love it! so true.


Success isn't a result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire. ~Arnold H. Glasow

Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending. ~Author Unknown

And several from my personal hero: Erma Bombeck

Don't confuse fame with success. Madonna is one; Helen Keller is the other.

Dreams have only one owner at a time. That's why dreamers are lonely.

Housework, if you do it right, will kill you.

If you can't make it better, you can laugh at it.

It takes a lot of courage to show your dreams to someone else.

There is a thin line that separates laughter and pain, comedy and tragedy, humor and hurt.

There is nothing more miserable in the world than to arrive in paradise and look like your passport photo.

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, 'I used everything you gave me'

Hey you, scraping cookies out of the carpet. You were there when talent was passed out, He just had to bend down a bit to give it to you. Don't return it to Him unused.


Her column entitled "I Was 37 Years Old At The Time", published in 1976, is also a source of inspiration.

I like humorists. Mark Twain I'm certain said plenty of witty things too.

"The greatness of a nation and it's moral progress can be judged by the way it's animals are treated." ~Gandhi

"After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him. The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.” ~Will Rogers

Oooh, Kristina, I love quotes! I definitely have some for you.
"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."
Wayne Gretzky
"Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else."
Judy Garland
"If you're not willing to risk it all, then you don't want it bad enough."
Unknown
"Do not look back and grieve over the past, for it is gone. And do not be troubled about the future, for it has yet to come. Instead, live in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering."
Ida Scott Taylor
"Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential your own."
Robert A. Heinlen
I hope you like these!
God's and Farmgirl's Blessings,
Megan

I found another one:

I had to join in too! Here is mine.

Gus Pike: Do you know what my mother used to say about carrying a burden? At first it'll weigh you down. But Sooner or later, it'll make you strong. ~ Road to Avonlea

It is said that music is a bridge between earth and heaven. ~ Forbidden Kingdom

"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." ~Franklin D. Roosevelt

There are no accidents~ Kung Fu Panda

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.~ Jeremiah 29:11

A woman is a lot like a tea bag. You never know how strong she is until she is put in hot water.
