Those quotes are great. I often see fantastic quotes on sigs here on NP. I've copied a few out for use when I'm scrapbooking, because they so perfectly describe what I'm thinking at times.

I'm a bit of a quotaholic. I have a quote jar, where I have printed out quotes and laminated them, and then you just pull them out at random.

Me too Kathi! I have collected them over the years and I am often amazed how just the right one comes at the right time.

Thanks for sharing!
