   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?

4. ImaNicePerson - December 6th, 2007 at 1:05 am

   Great inspirational quotes. Thanks for sharing.

5. Anna J - December 6th, 2007 at 5:01 am

   Hi, nice list. I’ve just read it and started feeling more motivated while reading.
   Churchill’s and Twain’s are my favorites.
   Thanks!

6. Staci Rose - December 6th, 2007 at 7:06 am

   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.

7. SJ Yee - December 6th, 2007 at 11:35 am

   Gale, AgentSully, ImaNicePerson, Anna: You are all welcome, hope to see you again!

   Serena: You may like to have a look at this post -
   6 billion readers too shocking?

   Staci: - Oops, I didn’t even realize that I may have offended half of my readers! I’m so sorry… I would love for you to share those quotes you found!

   Great post, I like quotes I’ll add these to my collection.

10. Staci Rose - December 7th, 2007 at 7:14 am

    No offense! Those are excellent quotes! Ones you ponder over and try to relate word for word later on to someone else!

    “Don’t compromise yourself. You are all you’ve got.”
    —Janis Joplin

    “If you have knowledge, let others light their candles in it.”
    — Margaret Fuller

    “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” —Margaret Mead

    “Remember no one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”
    —Eleanor Roosevelt

    “I’ve learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances.”
    —Martha Washington

    “As a woman I have no country. As a woman my country is the whole world.”
    —Virginia Woolf

    And, my personal favorite, no matter what anyone says:

    “I’m as pure as the driven slush.”
    -Tallulah Bankhead

11. Peter - December 7th, 2007 at 1:00 pm

    Hey SJ,
    I’ve tagged you in a meme:

    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.”

12. shirley - December 8th, 2007 at 8:30 am

    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!
