Quotes

Me? I'm a quote person. I love quotes! And the smart people who say them give me things to focus on when my mind needs to slow down and think but is going a million miles an hour, or when I've had a hard day (or week...or more), or when I need a good laugh. Really, I just like quotes.

So I've decided to post ten of my favorites (in addition to the ones at the bottom of my blog):

- Zig Ziglar

5. “You must be the change you want to see in the world.”
