I'll admit it whole-heartedly. I have a lot of geeky personality traits and interests; one of which is a love for collecting quotes. In fact, I even made my own quote book-a compilation of quotes I love. It's over 50 pages and has room for me to write in more. So--tonight while I sit at home and read through my book, I thought I'd share some of my favorites (for tonight. My favorites vary day by day).
"Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, 'What! You, too! Thought I was the only one." ~C.S. Lewis
"Forgiveness liberates the soul. It removes fear. That is why it is such a powerful weapon." ~Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela in the movie 'Invictus'
"There are things you do because they feel right and they may make no sense and they may make no money and they may be the real reason we are here: to love each other and to eat each other's cooking and say it was good." ~Brian Andreas
"One advantage of talking to yourself is that you know at least somebody is listening." ~Franklin P. Jones
"The bottom line is that (a) people are never perfect, but love can be, (b) that is the one and only way that the mediocre and vile can be transformed, and (c) doing that makes it that. We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love." ~Tom Robbins
"All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love." ~Leo Tolstoy
"The longer I live the more beautiful life becomes. If you foolishly ignore beauty you soon find yourself without it. Your life will be impoverished. But if you invest in beauty it will remain with you all the days of your life." ~Frank Lloyd Wright
"I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I intended to be." ~Douglas Adams
"It's easy to sit there and say you'd like to have more money. And I guess that's what I like about it. It's easy. Just sitting there, rocking back and forth, wanting that money." ~Jack Handey
"Even if you cannot always see that silver lining on your clouds, God can, for He is the very source of the light you seek. He does love you, and He knows your fears. He hears your prayers. He is your Heavenly Father, and surely He matches with His own the tears His children shed." ~Jeffrey R. Holland
"We can say, 'I know that [God] loveth His children; nevertheless I do not know the meaning of all things (1 Nephi 11:17-Book of Mormon). There have been and will be times in each of our lives that such faith must be the bottom line: We don't know what is happening to us or around us, but we know that God loves us, and knowing that, for the moment, is enough." ~Neal A. Maxwell
"Misfortune can force you into doing things you should be doing anyway. Lessons come from adversity. Anything can happen to anyone...You can find a new lease on life - more meaning that you thought possible in simple things..Let go. Live in the moment. Go forward." ~Christopher Reeve
"If at first you don't succeed, find out if the loser gets anything." ~Bill Lyon
