I love a good quote and I know a lot of my readers love to collect quotes as well. I have been trying to keep myself uplifted and sometimes it is just a matter of reading some good quotes that will help put me in the right frame of mind. Today I wanted to share just a a few that I have run across that make me happy. Enjoy and feel free to add one of your own in the comments.

Leave a commentGreat quotes! I liked Albert Einstein’s best, though I think he used the word ‘one’ rather than woman. But I like it this way! 🙂
Ohhhh –fact check needs to go on here! Thanks! I may have to change that ! Thanks, Dawn!
Upon further investigation it probably was not even Albert Einstein who said this. 🙂 Go figure. I am sharing fake news. NOOOOO! Check this out.https://quoteinvestigator.com/2012/10/18/follows-crowd/
I definitely love a good quote. The third one is a personal favorite. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for reading! You are the best!
You know how I love quotes. You’ve listed some great ones here. It is hard sometimes to find the original source of the quote though.
You have some great quotes of your own, Cindy. I love what you have shared and that you have a notebook to keep track of them. I am not quite as organized.
I started that old notebook back in my college days. It’s fun to look back at the quotes I gathered back then.
I absolutely love that you have had it that long! That is amazing!
These are all great. Thanks! Here’s one but I don’t know who said it. “Life is not the way it’s supposed to be. It’s the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.”
That is a good one, Darlene! Thanks!
Love the quotes. Good thoughts to make us think differently sometimes.
I love to see quotes that make me stop and think. I don’t think I will ever be quoted unless it is something my kids remind me that I said repeatedly when they were growing up and that probably would not be one that I would want to be remembered for. 🙂
I never thought about Snoopy as being wise, no wonder he’s my favourite.
He is a great “person” to quote, right? Thanks for stopping by!
