Thought I’d post some of the quotes I like and think that a few people need to apply to their lives (including myself sometimes LOL). If I have the person who wrote it, I have added it.

The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want. ~Ben Stein

It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend. ~William Blake

The man who is swimming against he stream, knows the strength of it. ~Woodrow Wilson

Talk sense to a fool and he will call you foolish!

“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake. ~Napolean Bonaparte

One is successful when they can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at him.

“If you forgive others the wrongs they have done to you, your Father in heaven will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, then your father will not forgive the wrongs you have done.” Matthew 6:14,15

Do what you feel in your heart to be right – for you’ll be criticized anyway. You’ll be damned if you do, and damned if you don’t. ~Eleanor Roosevelt

Observe your enemies, for they first find out your faults.

A wise man gets more use from his enemies than a fool from his friends.

You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you.~Eric Hoffer

What a child doesn’t receive, he can seldom later give. ~P.D. James

If there were in the world today any large number of people who desired their own happiness more than they desired the unhappiness of others, we could have paradise in a few years. ~Bertrand Russell

It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.
~Andre Gide

If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn’t part of ourselves doesn’t disturb us.

Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses. ~Confucius

“The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.” ~Albert Einstein

It is easier to fight for one’s principles, than to live up to them. ~Alfred Adler

Be who you are and say what you feel because those that mind don’t matter and those that matter don’t mind.

I’ll come back and post more later. These are just the ones I remembered and found.
