Firstly, I love quotes. Secondly, here are some I think are awesome..a whole page dedicated to them, in fact. Let's start with one of my Dad's favorites, followed by my all-time fave:
"When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But, when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much he had learned in 7 years." - Mark Twain
"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right." - Henry Ford
"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss
"It's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then." - Alice in Wonderland
"Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid." - Albert Einstein
"Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it." - Charles Swindoll
"You know, if I had a dog as ugly as you, I'd shave its butt and tell it to walk backwards." - The Great Hambino
"You can't soar with eagles when you're surrounded by turkeys." - I dunno who said this. (Sidenote: I do, however, recall my father quoting this when I was deciding which college to go to. I could never remember how it went, but the message stuck.)
