Quotable Sunday

I am a girl who is all about the quotes. I have dozens of favorite quotes, mostly from books I've enjoyed. So when I ran across Quotable Sundays over at A Daily Dose of Toni, I knew I had to play.

Here are some of the quotes I live by:

You can have everything in life you want, if you'll just help enough other people get what they want. Zig Ziglar

Be yourself - everyone else is taken. Unknown

I am my mother's child and that is better than being the child of anyone else in the world. Maya Angelou

God can dream a bigger dream for you than you could ever imagine. Oprah

We immediately become more effective when we decide to change ourselves rather than asking things to change for us. Stephen Covey

Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain - and most fools do. Dale Carnegie - (Adrian's take on this. Don't just whine, get busy and fix it! I may whine and complain with the best of them, but then I start looking for solutions.)

The human brain is unique in that it is the only container of which it can be said that the more you put into it, the more it will hold. Glenn Doman

You are what you think about. Earl Nightingale

Action is the foundational key to all success. Tony Robbins

Never try to teach a pig to sing, it wastes your time and annoys the pig. Unknown

You receive what you "thank" about. The Secret

For every moment you are angry, you lose 60 seconds of happiness. Unknown

People are where they are because that is exactly where they really want to be - whether they will admit that or not. Earl Nightingale

Actions that are recognized and rewarded will be repeated. Unknown

I think this one is my most favorite. I think it really sums up how I live my life. I'm never that girl who goes along with the crowd. Instead, I always end up going off in my own direction.

Be a voice - not an echo. From a t-shirt I saw at Disneyland

Obviously, I make my living on quotes, so I love them all. I think the two that sum up me the best are "Don't hold back" and "Life is short, eat dessert first!"
