Quotes
I don't know about any of you, but one thing I really love is quotes. Quotes by authors, quotes by people I look up to, inspirational quotes, funny quotes, thought-provoking quotes and everything in between. Collecting quotes is also another fun pastime I have. Some of my favorite quotes...

"The splendor of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not rob the little violet of it's scent nor the daisy of its simple charm. If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness." -St. Therese the Little Flower
"When one loves, one does not calculate." -St. Therese the Little Flower

"Life is like a camera. Just focus on what's important, capture the good times, develop from the negatives, and if things don't turn out- take another shot." --Unknown
This is one of my absolute favorite quotes. Staying optimistic, focusing on what's important, learning from mistakes, and trying again is what's important, and this is an example of one of the quotes I live by.

Ooh! Here's one of mine!
“Tell my I'm clever,
Tell me I'm kind,
Tell me I'm talented,
Tell me I'm cute,
Tell me I'm sensitive,
Graceful and Wise
Tell me I'm perfect--
But tell me the TRUTH.”
-Shel Silverstein

I love this one! It is by True
"Remember a great momentof your life, when you felt proud and
excited and so happy. Don't you wish, just the tiniest bit, to go back
to that moment, and to live it, fresh and new, again? To see all those
old faces, to laugh at old jokes, to be able to go back to the moment
you loved. Not having to experience the less-happier moments before or
after it, just to stay in that time, and with all of that that comforted
you once. While life may be good now, you still want to see that, to
experience this again..." -True
