[Itsychik]

I think a quote book is an AMAZING idea! I want to start one as well!

My favourite quote is from a poem:

Two roads diverged in a wood and I-
I took the road less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.

--Robert Frost

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway.

Mother Teresa

-In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

-Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor, it must be demanded by the oppressed.

I have a painting on my wall that has words on it that I love... I am not religious but I like it.

"Dance like there's nobody watching, Sing like there's nobody listening, Love like you'll never get hurt, Live like there is heaven on earth"

In spotless mind virtue is found
And not in show and swelling sound.

Everyone has problems, some are just better at hiding them.

Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it.

Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy

Only by going too far can one possibly find out how far one can go.

Don't be afraid to fail because only through failure do you learn to succeed.

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone- but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything they just make the most of everything that they have

Many people will walk in and out or your life,
But only true friends will leave footprints in your heart

Oh and it's short buti always say it

Every cloud has a silver lining xx

The only thing better than having you as my Mother is having you as my child’s Grandma.

Now that I’m a Mother too, I know how hard this was for you, so thank you Mum for now I know, what you sacrificed for me to grow.

Mothers and daughters are closest when daughters become Mothers.​

I LOVE this quote and the poem!!! I had it read at my mom's funeral.

True Love cannot be found where it truly does not exist,*
neither can it be hidden where it does...
