Say Something

I'm a quote junkie. I think that my love for quotes quite possibly began with my parents sending me off each day with the words, "Remember WHO you are." I do.

Other memorable things my parents said to me have stayed in my mind and I recall them often. I clearly remember being grouchy one day when I was about 5 years old. My dad pulled me aside and said, "You can catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar." As a 5 year old, I was completely perplexed by this statement. He went on to tell me that kindness gets you much further in the long run than being mean does. As I've gotten older, this advice has resurfaced in my heart and mind again and again. And I find that he was absolutely right.



I collect any quote that I can look back on to lift me up and I have thousands of them stored away.  Sometimes they calm me and other times I gain much needed perspective. Sometimes they help me feel better about myself and remind me that we are all unique and view things in different ways. Quotes inspire me and amuse me. Here are some of my favorites. Forgive me ahead of time for sharing so many. Maybe you can find something in them that resonates in you.
