For us, the storm has passed. The war is over. And let us never forget those who journeyed into the howling dark, and did not return. For their decision required courage beyond measure. Sacrifice, an unshakable conviction that their fight, our fight, was elsewhere. As we start to rebuild, this hillside will remain barren, a memorial to heroes fallen. They enabled all of us, and they shall not be forgotten. ~ Ron Perlman as Lord Hood

An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day. ~ Henry David Thoreau

Small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises. ~ Demosthenes

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. ~ Mark Twain

Being forced to work, and forced to do your best, will breed in you temperance and self-control, diligence and strength of will, cheerfulness and content, and a hundred virtues which the idle will never know. ~ Charles Kingsley

Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap
but by the seeds that you plant. ~Robert Louis Stevenson

October's Party ~ George Cooper
October gave a party; The leaves by hundreds came -
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples, And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet, And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing, Professor Wind the band.

When the world says, "Give up,"
Hope whispers, "Try it one more time."
~Author Unknown

The next thing to saying a good thing yourself, is to quote one.

"Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly." - Robert F. Kennedy

The law of harvest is to reap more than you sow.
Sow an act, and you reap a habit.
Sow a habit and you reap a character.
Sow a character and you reap a destiny.

May you always have work for your hands to do.
May your pockets hold always a coin or two.
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane.
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
~Irish Blessing

The biggest problem in the world
Could have been solved when it was small.

I know God will not give me anything I can't handle.
I just wish that He didn't trust me so much.

Beautiful and graceful, varied and enchanting,
small but approachable,
butterflies lead you to the sunny side of life.
And everyone deserves a little sunshine.
~Jeffrey Glassberg

I love quotes ---
I use them on my scrapbooking pages and cards.
I thought it would be nice to share some of my favorites!

You've gotta' dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.
And speak from the heart to be heard.
~William W. Purkey
