Great Quotes!

I ordered a card set from Sally Foster and totally forgot why, NOW I remember! Neat cards with awesome quotes that I must share. Feel free to pass them along. They made by blah day much brighter.

"Treasure the one who lightens the burden of anyone else."--Charles Dickens

"Your world is as big as you make it."--Georgia Douglas Johnson

"You are one of my nicest thoughts."--Georgia O'Keefe

"It's not what we have in our life, but who we have in our life that counts."--J. M. Laurence

"Dreams come a size too big so that you can grow into them."--Josie Bissett

"Everything great that is done in the world is done by hope."--Martin Luther King, Jr.

"I wish you all the joy that one can wish."--William Shakespeare

"Friends are the sunshine of life."--John Hay

"Believe! There are no limits but the sky."--Cervantes

A little trivia on the last quote. Cervantes authored "Don Quixote" and several everyday colloquialisms have been culled from his masterpiece. Of course, they have been arranged in modern speak to make sense. Here are a few:

"The sky's the limit."
"Thanks for nothing."
"Mum's the word."
"No love lost."
"Give the devil his due."

Pretty cool, huh? And even neater (and I thought of this one all on my own!), if you take the "i" and "x" out of Quixote, you are left with the word "QUOTE!!!" Way cool! I learned all of this from a New York Times Crossword Sunday puzzle by the way. ;)

Hope you enjoyed. Later blog readers.......
