Great post! I am always collecting good quotes.
 My favorite quote, lately, is the one I put in my signature. "Why blame the dark for being dark? It's far more helpful to ask why the light isn't as bright as it should be." ~ Rob Bell Other ones I really-really like are: "Merely having an open mind is nothing; the object of opening the mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid." - G.K. Chesterton "Reality is like a fine wine-- it will not be enjoyed by children." - unknown "Pro photography is a lifestyle, not a job." - college photography professor And one I got today from a college friend on email: "Simply put, there are too many darker corners in this world that calls out for caring hearts, and that the vast majority of us who live in comfort take too many blessings for granted. Then, we lose the ability to think differently and to understand people who live in tough situations. Although one can say that I can never do enough to make a difference, but I won't believe that. I don't know which direction I am going to go yet, or how exactly am I going to get there, but I can make a difference, and I will." ~ Annalisa (And of course this leaves out my favorite Bible verses, but there are so many!! And every day it seems a new one jumps out at me that really speaks to my heart, so my "most favorite" verse is always changing!)

As an English Lit Major in college, I soaked up so many quotes that pertained to different times in my life. On my program for my upcoming wedding, I added a little Shakespeare...
"He is half part blessed man Left to be finished by such as she And she is a fair divided excellence Whose fullness of perfection lies in him" |

"My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you. "
These are the last lines of the Footprints Poem. Judy

I love those quotes Traci. The Road Not Taken is one of my favorite poems.
