I am looking for the best and most inspirational quotes you know or have come across. I was thinking of putting them on post its and post them throughout the house. I need to see them on my sad days (when dh is gone) and especially need some encouragement on the days I have to go for a run!

I have always loved Nike's "just do it". To me it's simple yet effective. Often I want to add to it: stop complaining about it...and just do it!"

What are some of your faves?

I have always liked the Prayer of St. Francis. It was my late Grandmother's favorite and I had someone sing the song at my wedding. Now, I have the prayer in a frame and hung up by the kitchen sink so I can see it every time I do dishes. To me, it is very inspirational.

Oh, there are so many! Usually there's one that will pop into my head depending on my circumstances. Here are some good ones:

The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up. ~Mark Twain

Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. ~Abraham Lincoln

Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product. ~Eleanor Roosevelt

Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars. ~Les Brown

Whether you think you can or think you can't - you are right. ~Henry Ford

One of my favorites, maybe because I can remember it, "Bloom where you are planted!"

Mine's a bible verse...

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13

Motivational for me...nothing beats Nike's "Just do it" Short, sweet and so to the point!

Inspirational can mean different things but off the top of my head I love "Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much" It is on a sign in our living room as it is my very favorite quote and serves as a great reminder to us every day.

"Home is where your story begins" is another one for me. It is on a square right above my stove and I love seeing it everyday because it reminds me THIS place is where our story begins and I want it to be a great one!

This a favorite. Another one is: The mills of God are grinding, slowly but surely.

I am trying to remember another one of favortites, i've gone blank just now. Will post that later.
