Quotes

Sometimes I will come across a quote that really strikes me. One of those quotes where I just have to write it down because it seems so perfect I don't want to forget it. Even if I do get the quote down somewhere I may lose track of it among the clutter of my life, but here are some quotes that have stayed with me...

"Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, it's at the end of your arm, as you get older, remember you have another hand: The first is to help yourself, the second is to help others." - Audrey Hepburn

"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." - Eleanor Roosevelt

    "To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it." - Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

    “Poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese.” –G.K Chesterton

  5. My favorite comment comes from one of my favorite authors, Raymond Chandler:

    "I knew one thing: as soon as anyone said you didn't need a gun, you'd better take one along that worked."

    So true!

  9. Oh, that's a great quote, and so true!

    I do remember a Dr. Phil episode (roll your eyes here) where he said, "You teach people how to treat you." I liked that. Even though I don't watch his show anymore, that stuck with me.
