Quotes I Live By
I keep my growing collection of favorite quotes (more than 200) available to read on the top right of each page of my blog (one at a time). I’ve had a few people tell me that they’ve spent time refreshing page after page on my blog in order to read more of them. It always makes me smile. Of my collection, there are a few that I think of constantly and bring up in conversations on a regular basis. These are quotes that have shaped me in one way or another and that I live by. I thought that it would be worthwhile for myself, and for those of you that like a good quote, to put my top fifteen in a list.
