Quotes

My friend Nicole suggested that I do a post of my favorite quotes, and I thought that that was a good idea. When I worked for Franklin Covey I had the classic day planner, and on each day was a different quote. I wrote down the ones that I really liked. Some I've already shared, here are some others:
