Collecting Quotes

I love quotes and have collected them for years.  Someday I hope to compile my favorites into some type of journal or book for my grandkids.  Since nothing much is going on in my little world, I thought I would share some of these quotes and hope you enjoy them (and the meanings behind them) as much as I do.....

but we make a LIFE by what we GIVE.

*Winston Churchill

Every day take note of an exquisite moment.

*unknown

Life may not be the party we hoped for,

but while we are here we might as well dance.

*unknown

To love a person is to learn their song

and sing it to them when they have forgotten.

*unknown

The best and most beautiful things

in this world

cannot be seen or even heard, but

must be felt with the heart.

*Helen Keller

Every job is a self-portrait

of the person who does it.

Autograph your work with excellence.

*unknown

God did not promise days without pain,

laughter without sorrow,

nor sun without rain.

But He did promise strength for the day,

comfort for the tears,

and light for the way.

*unknown

Thirty years from now it won't matter

what shoes you wore, how your hair looked,

or the jeans you bought.

What will matter is

what you learned

and how you used it.

*unknown

Wishing all my friends a wonderful and contented weekend filled with special moments.

*Note:  all the pictures are mine except the waterfall.  I'm still learning with

my new camera!
