Quotes for the New Year

Mon, 1 Jan 2007 22:57:10 GMT

I just reviewed some of the quotes on the words of wisdom page. Many of them seem very fitting at this particular time. This one has sort of a stop-and-smell-the-roses type of message. "Each day comes bearing its own gifts. Untie the ribbons." - Ruth Ann Schabaker - A quote that was recently added is appropriate for people making New Years resolutions... "Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up." - Thomas Edison - I know from experience how true that quote is. Many times I would give up or get sidetracked before reaching a goal I had set for myself. Later on, after setting a similar goal and making it happen, I could see how close I really was on the previous attempt. No matter what goals we have set for ourselves, our favorite words of wisdom can help us get there. So, pick out a few quotes that have special meaning for you and lets all have a great year!
