All your posts about various quotes has got me thinking. Sometimes, I would like to be able to review the quotes for either something I want to post or just a reminder of the inspiration they bring. How about we start posting all our inspirational quotes we can remember here. Quotes can have few words but say all that is needed!


luv,

What a supremely excellent idea!!! :up: :clap: Then we would have one page we can go to and read wonderful words to lift us up when we are feeling a bit low or flat :) M

I have two...

1.) We all have moments of desperation, but if we can confront them head on, THATS when we really realise how strong we are.

AND....


2.) Hold your head high, Stick your chest out, you can make it. It gets dark sometimes, but morning comes, KEEP HOPE ALIVE....

I love those two.

Love,

sarlu
