I have notebooks full of them. I could finish out my posts to 500 and not even make a dent in my notebooks. When I have a few minutes later, I'll post a few... (notebooks are upstairs, so must go grab them).

I have quite a collection too, but here's a couple of my favorites

I asked for all things that I might enjoy life.
God said, No I will give you life so that you
may enjoy all things.

and my all time favorite (which I think I'll add to my siggy here LOL)

"Think as I think," said a man, "Or you are abominably wicked, You are a toad." And after I had thought of it, I said, "I will then, be a toad."
- Stephen Crane

[CathyRose]

Every great mistake has a halfway moment, a split second when it can be recalled and perhaps remedied. Pearl S. Buck

It's an oldie, but so goodie...

- Henry David Thoreau

[skyescrapz]

Life itself turns toward a man an infinitely vacant, discouragingly blank side on which nothing is written, no more than on this blank canvas... but the man of faith and energy is not frightened by that blankness; he steps in, he acts, he builds up, he creates, and in the end the canvas is no longer blank but covered with the rich pattern of life.
-Irving Stone

[AmyK]

Prayer is less about changing the world than it is about changing ourselves.
- Unknown

[AmyK]

The other terror that scares us from self-trust is our consistency; a reverence for our past act or word because the eyes of others have no other data for computing our orbit than our past acts, and we are loathe to disappoint them.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

[skyescrapz]

Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person; having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but to pour them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keepping, and then, with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.
-George Eliot

[skyescrapz]

Wit is eduated insolence.
-Aristotle

[skyescrapz]

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.

[skyescrapz]

A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What a man can be, he must be.
-Abraham Maslow
