Hello all! I've been abundantly blessed by my virtual coffee chats with so many of you in this wonderful forum on Books and Literature! (The Relationship forum is fun too, but this is where inspiration comes from... "the stuff dreams are made of" )

Anyways... We all have favorite quotes, quotes that have touched a chord in our hearts and minds, quotes that have influenced our decisions, inspired us to go that extra mile, give us courage to face the day, and shown us what real living is like.

Lets share these divine inspirations with our little world here - on this little posting. I'll start with one of my all-time favorites....

Being a star-gazer myself and being the proud owner of a tempestuous personal history, this is one of my favorites - it reminds me that no matter what is swirling around me at a given time, I can get through it.

"The most tempestuous wind cannot disturb the quiet of the stars."

Literary wishes and Shakespearean dreams,

thanks, Starty.

I just got fed up today on a thread and this came out of the blue.

It's the "me first" mindset and it drives me nuts. Just because something makes me happy doesn't mean it is right, moral, or in the best interest of me OR my family/friends/significant other!!

Lol... that's my rant.

(You didn't ask for that, did you....)

I understand. Ya, I have a load of "me first" rants...but we could start a different thread for that one. XXOO

Or an ethical one, but both seem to have been lost in America.

Isn't it the "me first" or WIIFM (Whats in it for me?) that got us in the predicament in which we find ourselves today?

Starty, we could start an entire FORUM for those rants.
