    Hi
    I love collecting quotations and wanted to share some which are relevant to a lot of my feelings....


    "Anything that has power over you is "for" teaching you how to take your power back"

    "Honesty is the first chapter of the book of wisdom"

    Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal - Henry Ford

    Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond - Rumi

    Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending

    When the world says, "Give up,"
Hope whispers, "Try it one more time."


    If one dream should fall and break into a thousand pieces, never be afraid to pick one of those pieces up and begin again.


    I would love it if you would add your own.......

    This has nothing particularly to do with Literature guys (if nothing else, the Star Trek:TNG quotation has demonstrated that definitively). Two options for the OP: find a moderator on an appropriate forum who can PM me to say they'll take it or, better again, think about starting a blog.
