This is an AWESOME thread! I have files and files of quotes I love. I even did a set of word art on quotes for a site I CT for. I'll rummage and whittle down and come back to post.
Love this idea. I already got some inspiration!

What a great thread! One of my favorite quotes is "worrying is like praying for what you don't want" but I can't remember the name of the lady that said it, only that she was a cancer survivor.
