A place where I can share the quotes that I have collected (and keep collecting) over the years. I have gathered them from all sorts of sources. The "Quote of the Day" posts will always be a quote from a book and may be on any topic.

Quote It! Saturday



This blog is, of course, devoted to quotes. At least it's supposed to be...I'm still having trouble keeping up with two blogs. Gonna keep trying to get back into the swing of it.

In the meantime, 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!


God has neither form nor shape under which we can know Him; when he speaks of Himself in metaphors and similes, He is adapting Himself to our foolishness, our limited capacity.
~Christina of Sweden

Think freely. Smile often
Rediscover old friends. Make new ones.
Tell those you love them that you do.
Dream. Hope. Grow. Give. Give in.
Pick some daisies. Share them.
Sing. Dance. Reach out. Let someone in.
Hug a child. Kiss.
Slow down. Hold a hand.
See a sunrise. Listen to a the rain.
Trust life. Share faith. Enjoy.
Make some mistakes. Learn from them.
Love everyone. Explore the unknown.
Celebrate life and love.
~from a Christmas card
