I am a quotes kind of person I live on them so I of course have many quotes that inspire me... but here are just a few that get me through the day.

"He who has injured thee was either stronger or weaker than thee. If weaker, spare him; if stronger, spare thyself." -William Shakespeare

"It's life: To wish the impossible, witness the unthinkable, live the unreasonable..."

“Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength.”

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."-Maya Angelou

I could go on for days but these are just a few good ones...

You can get more done with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone. Willie Sutton - Bank Robber

Wealth is the means, and people are the ends. All our material riches will avail us little if we do not use them to expand the opportunities of our people. John F. Kennedy, State of the Union Message, Jan 11, 1962

O God, give us serenity to accept what cannot be changed, courage to change what should be changed, and wisdom to distinguish the one from the other. Reinhold Neibuhr, 1934

Money isn’t the root of evil, nor is the love of money. The root of all evil is democratic capitalism, whereby power and greed are in abundance. Author Unknown

Some believe that sound thinking is a term used to describe the mental activities of those who agree with us - author unknown

As soon as men decide that all means are permitted to fight an evil, then their good becomes indistinguishable from the evil that they set out to destroy. - The Judgment of the Nations, Christopher Dawson

Me too... hourly sometimes. I love this question/quote!

"The time is always right to do what is right." - Martin Luther King Jr.

"I believe in the sun, even when it is not shining. I believe in love, even when I don't feel it. I believe in God, even when there is silence." -Words scratched on the walls of a cellar in Cologne, Germany by a Jew hiding from Nazi persecution.

Love it Jess... LOVE THIS!:p

:D 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... )

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?
