I see so many amazing quotes in people's signatures, it made me dig out my notebook with all my different quotes in. I thought I would share them and ask everyone else to share ones that mean something to them

I was regretting the past and fearing the future. Suddenly God was speaking "My name is I am." I waited and God continued: "When you live in the past with its mistakes and regrets, I am not there. My name is not I was. When you live in the future with its problems and fears, it is hard, I am not there. My name is not I will be. When you live in this moment, it is not hard. I am here. My name is I am."

Life is like an onion. You peel it off layer by layer and sometimes you cry.

God creates a worm for every bird, but he doesn't throw it in the nest.

The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.

The word listen contains the same letters as the word silent.

We crucify ourselves between two thieves - regret for yesterday and fear of tomorrow

After awhile
After awhile you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul,
And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't mean security
And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises
And you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child
And you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans
After awhile you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much
So plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers
And you learn that you really can endure
That you really are stong
And you really do have worth


You are loveable! Yes...You!
Just because people haven't been there for you,
Just because certain people haven't been able to show love for you in ways that worked,
Just because relationships have failed or gone sour does not mean that you are unloveable.
You've had lessons to learn
Sometimes those lessons hurt
Let go of the pain
Open your heart to love
You are lovable
You are loved!
Today I will tell myself I'm lovable. I will do this until I believe it


If you think you are beaten, you are
If you think you dare not, you don't
If you like to win, but think you can't,
it's almost a cinch you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost
For out in the world we find success begins with a fellows mind
If you think you're outclassed, you are
You've got to think high to rise
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win the prize
Life's battles don't always go to the stonger, faster man
But sooner or later, the man who wins is the man who thinks he can.
