Found some quotes that were passed along in our family. I beg for your forgiveness in advance for the typos I'm going to make trying to copy these out of a scrapbook.


<> You will make all kinds of mistakes, but as long as you are generous and true and also fierce, you cannot hurt the world or even seriously distress her.(Winston Churchill)

<>After awhile you learn that what you really are is all the experiences and all the thoughts you've ever had and all the people that have touched your life, however briefly. (Jennifer L. Nelson)

<>The world stands out on either side
No wider than the heart is wide;
Above the world is stretched the sky
No higher than the soul is high.
(Edna St. Vincent Malloy)

<>The price of victory is high, but so are the rewards. (Paul W. "Bear" Bryant)

<>The burning of a little straw may hide the stars, but the stars will outlast the smoke. (Voltaire)

<>We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.

<>It isn't your circumstances, but the way you respond to those circumstances that determines the condition of your life. (Fred Wolfe)

<>And then he thinks he knows the hills where his life rose and the sea where it goes. (Matthew Arnold)

<>The best way to predict the future is to create it.

<>Cherish your visions and your dreams, as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements. (Napoleon Hill)

<>The heart is happiest when it beats for others.

<>Aim above morality. Be not simply good, be good for others. (Henry David Thoreau)

AND...my personal all-time FAVORITE quote...

What we are doing is just a drop in the ocean, but if that drop were not in the ocean, I think the ocean would be less because of that missing drop. (Mother Teresa)
