Good quotes


I saw this today and it moved me... I wish I would've seen it when I was questioning if I was doing the right thing a few months back. Since I know we all go through those times of doubt, and that doubt sometimes keeps us "stuck" in re-living the "good times" with our qualifiers so that we can't see another way... this is for those times:

 

"You can't start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one."

How about adding your favorite quote(s) to this thread? Ready? Set? Go!

Thanks PnP - great discussion and great quote! I have several favorites, one is in my avatar and has been there for a long while. I'm a huge fan of the abbreviated version also - BLESS THEM, CHANGE ME! Lastly, I am also a huge fan of, To thine own self, be true.

(((Hugs)))

I just read this quote today in a book I'm reading and it really struck home with me:

"Sometimes you do not need to make a decision, because you become the answer."

Thank you all for sharing on the boards!
