    I'm going to add one more, then I'll leave this alone so others can have a turn :)

    "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
    ~Mark Twain

    These are awesome!

    Here's mine: Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence and character, who make the world a better place.

    Those 3 words got me through all my bc treatments and continue to help me when I'm scared, or I doubt myself, etc.

    I like this so I will continue:

    I have notebooks full of quotes! Also, there is a good 'Favorite Quotations' thread on the 'Moving Beyond Cancer' forum.

    Here's a poem I like.

    'No Way Back' by Sydney Carter

    Lean on the future. There

    if anywhere

    you walk upon the water.

    All that was true at first

    is true at last

    but there is no way back

    into the past

    But through the future. There

    if anywhere

    the miracle must happen.

    Kindness in words creates confidence,

    Kindness in thinking creates profoundness,

    Kindness in giving creates love. Lao-Tse

    Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier.  Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile.  -Mother Teresa

    This seems to be a favorite so ... in the words of Ruth

    Here's another I really like:

    The most authentic thing about us 

    is our capacity to create, 

    to overcome, 

    to endure, 

    to transform, 

    to love, and 

    to be greater than our suffering.

    Ben Okri

    For those who don't care about quotes (maybe we should start a thread just for that!)...

    the next person can't sing worth a doodle but loves to anyway :)

    The next person has some really great plans for today ...

    True -- my first husband found me on FB, and to my shock apologized for being such a jerk when we were married (neither of us was ready to get married but he was a jerk), and we've since become good friends. 

    The next person wants to go back to bed this morning :)
