Quotes

There are times when for whatever reason I feel the need to read or hear words that either teach, reinforce, or simply stimulate some sort of emotion. When those instances arise, I many times come to my ever growing list of quotes. Now this is by no means a list of the greatest quotes of all-time or some reference guide for the most famous quotations ever. It’s just a list that I’ve been compiling for a couple of years and whenever I read or hear something that strikes a chord with me, I add it to the list. So I decided to share a few of my favorites with you all, my electronic neighbors. Feel free to refer to this list from time to time for words; some inspiring, some thought provoking, and some humorous words. Which if you know me, then you know I love to be around funny, stimulating, and inspiring things & people. Enjoy!!

Also, if you have some quotes you’d like to share please feel free to pass them along.
