Sorry for not commenting on anything relating to your post here though the quotes are motivating, but your feed caught my attention and I am amused by it. What happened actually? I mean there isn’t 6 billion internet users on the planet earth yet?

Hi, nice list. I’ve just read it and started feeling more motivated while reading.
Churchill’s and Twain’s are my favorites.
Thanks!
These are all great quotes…and I am a quote hound. But, maybe, as a woman, I like to know that my own gender (people I most relate to for obvious reasons) have witty and poignant things to say about life.
I’d be happy to share some I’ve found if you’re open to that.
Gale, AgentSully, ImaNicePerson, Anna: You are all welcome, hope to see you again!

Hope you join in!
Also, that’s probably one of my favorite Edison quotes ever. My number one would definitely be
“Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.”
These are great! Don’t be surprised if some of them show up at http://WayCoolQuotes.blogspot.com I’m always on the look out for good quotes that speak to me. I especially like the “going from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm”… awesome!
