Favorite Quotes

A recent "hobby" (for lack of a better term) of mine is reading quotes. I even subscribe to Brian Tracy's Quote of the Day. I thought it might be fun for us to have a running thread of good quotes. For instance, the one in my signature.

Do you have any favorite quotes to share?

I thought that was great.

Those are great! One of my favorites I saw in a second grade classroom was a little rhyme:

Good, better, best
Never let it rest
Until your good becomes better
And your better becomes best!

My favorite "quote" from the Bible is Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean Not to your own understanding, in all thy ways acknowledge him and HE shall direct thy path"

Kinda says it all for me. And would solve alot of problems in the world if more people did this.

I don't need to know where I'm going, just as long as I know where I've been. - Mater in the movie Cars.

I love this quote. It's true, really. We don't need to know where God is leading us - we just have to trust His plan. But, knowing where we've been helps us understand who we are and what has made us who we are.

How about this one:

The Senility Prayer

God grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do and the eyesight to tell the difference.
