Don't Quote Me On That!

We often turn to the words of others for inspiration, guidance, or even just a good laugh. These words might come from favorite pieces of literature, song lyrics, a wise family member or friend, even movies or TV. I would like you to add a quote (or two..) that means something to you or that you just like as a comment to this post. Then add that same quote as a Text Gadget in the sidebar of your own blog.


I have a couple of quotes that I like:

"What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?" (author George Eliot)

"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."(author Maya Angelou)

"Love is the answer, at least to most of the questions of my heart."(musician Jack Johnson)

Your quote may be from a person you know or a person you don't. It may be funny or serious, thought-provoking or light-hearted. Just so it speaks to you. On the topic of "quotes," I'm adding a link here to a funny site that documents superfluous (extra, unnecessary) uses of quotation marks. Maybe it's only funny to me as an English teacher, but take a look: http://www.unnecessaryquotes.com/. Be on the lookout for unneeded quotation marks in your world...maybe you could send one in.
