TopTen2010_Button_A1


Look at this...we're almost half way through the month already!  Today Jade wants to know...what are the best quotations, the ones which inspire you or encourage you, the ones you want to live by, or have made you stop and think?

I love quotes! I love them so much that I keep a little blue 3X5 notebook full of them.  Well...it's not full but when I come across something that means something to me...I write it down.

My children are going to think I'm batty someday when they find it.

  1. Love these!

    So glad I'm not the only one who has notebooks with quotes - although I've got my favourites in a small pocket notebook that's usually in my handbag.

    I'm going to add some of these today, particularly:

  4. The one from the bible is incredibly comforting. I love it. I wish I had known it a long time ago...I knew it, but I didn't know it was from the bible. :(
    And the Ronald Reagan one is spot on! I couldn't agree more!

  7. What a great idea to have a note card book to write them down, I should do that.
    I really like the one by Ronald Reagan and like everyone else the jackass whisperer is a great one.
    Hope the rest of 2010 and 2011 is equally inspiring.

  8. Great idea! I come across quotes all the time but never take the time to write them down and I typically forget about them. This is a great list!
