My Favorite Quotes

**Originally posted March 7th, 2009**

So...some of you may...or may not know...I love to collect and read quotes. Over the past few months, I've started writing them down as I come across ones I like and have saved them on my computer.
So...in no particular order, here are a few of my favorites...they are usually themed around success, motivation and love.Please share some of your favorites for me to add to my collection, and let me know if there are any on my list that you like.
Unfortunately, I don't have author's names...many of them are famous quotes, others I've see on Hallmark cards, some I've randomly seen in the mall or a store window and had to phone my voicemail to read out so I wouldn't forget later...oh ya...a few at the end are from my lululemon bag!
