I love quotes. Funny quotes, inspirational quotes, thought provoking quotes. It doesn't really matter. I even have an entire notebook filled with quotes. So I thought it might be fun to have a place to share some of our favorite quotes. So here are a few of mine:
"You can lead a fool to wisdom, but you can't make him think."
"A wise man can see more from the bottom of a well than a fool can see from the top of a mountain."
"Your heart understands what you head cannot yet conceive; trust your heart."
"It is never too late to be what you might have been."
"To be loved is to be fortunate, but to be hated is to achieve distinction."
"Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother."
- Lin Yutang
"A broke hand works, but not a broken heart."
"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."
- Eleanore Roosevelt
"Remember that everyone you meet wears an invisible sign. It reads 'Notice me. Make me feel important.'"
"What is right is often forgotten by what is convenient."
- Bodie Theone
"When you have children, its like watching your heart walk outside your body for the rest of your life."
"Do not rejoice in my grief, for when mine is old, yours will be new."
"There are chapters in every life that are seldom read and certainly not aloud."
- Carol Shields
"The turning point in the process of growing up is when you discover the core strength within you that survives all hurt."
- Max Lerner
"I am laughing to keep from dying."
- Langston Hughes
"I cannot love as I have loved, and yet I know not why; it is the one great woe of life to feel all feeling die."
- Gamaliel Bailey
"Speak not of my debts unless you mean to pay them."
"Experience is a hard teacher, because she gives the test first and the lesson afterwards."
"There is one right that I would not grant anyone. That is the right to be indifferent."
- Elie Wiesel
"Blessed are we who can laugh at ourselves, for we shall never cease to be amused."

"Do you know, what its like to love somone so much, that you cant see yourself without picturing her? Or what its like to touch someone and feel like you've come home?
Some people spend their whole lives looking for that one person, i was lucky enough to have her all along"
the pact by jodi picoult
"The saddest day in the world will be the day she stops pretending."
tenth circle by Jodi picoult
Don't mistake skill at concealing feelings for lack of emotion
When two souls really touch, it is forever. Then time and space disappear and all that remains is the consciousness that we are not alone.

And since you know you cannot see yourself, so well as by reflection, I, your glass,will modestly discover to yourself,
that of yourself which you yet know not of. ~William Shakespeare
Be great in act, as you have been in thought.~William Shakespeare
Conversation should be pleasant without scurrility, witty without affectation, free without indecency, learned without conceitedness, novel without falsehood. ~ William Shakespeare
Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. How on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love? Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. That's relativity. ~ Albert Einstein
People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
Life's greatest happiness is to be convinced we are loved. ~Victor Hugo
Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.~ Helen Keller
Dreams surely are difficult, confusing, and not everything in them is brought to pass for mankind. For fleeting dreams have two gates: one is fashioned of horn and one of ivory. Those which pass through the one of sawn ivory are deceptive, bringing tidings which come to nought, but those which issue from the one of polished horn bring true results when a mortal sees them. ~ Homer
You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?" ~ Geroge Bernard Shaw
Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night. ~ Edgar Allen Poe
I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I don't believe I deserved my friends. ~ Walt Whitman
It is possible to fail in many ways...while to succeed is possible only in one way. ~ Aristotle
There is no remedy for love but to love more. ~ Henery David Thoreau
The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance. ~ Socrates
Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about. ~ Oscar Wilde
Be faithful to that which exists nowhere but in yourself - and thus make yourself indispensable. ~ Andre Gide

We are advertis'd by our loving friends. ~William Shakespeare
I am not bound to please thee with my answers. ~William Shakespeare
