Quote It! Saturday

This blog is, of course, devoted to quotes. But Freda's Voice has a wonderful meme called Quote It! that I cannot resist participating in. You can post as many quotes as you like. To join in, hop on over to Freda's place!

I am still running behind on my usual posting. I'm hoping to get back on track soon. Meanwhile...here are quotes for last week:
