What are your favorite quotes and why?
I immediately thought of this!! She had so many excellent quotes. Who was it that said something like....Women are like tea bags....you never know how strong they are until they get in hot water.

Yes, she certainly did. This is her quote, "A woman is like a tea bag - you can't tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water."

I don't really know that much about her, but from what I do know, I really admire her.

AND "no one can take advantage of you without your consent". I think the above "making you feel inferior" quote is a conflation of this Eleanor Roosevelt statement.

A wise friend said to me last March that “The year it could be Heaven or Hell for me. It was my choice.”

I recall that, when life and the world struggles have gotten me down.

Mickey, I like this one and have never heard it - thanks for sharing!

I LOVE quotes - I have SO MANY favorites! One of the ones I've loved the longest is from Shakespeare (King Lear):
"Love's not love when it is mingled with regards that stand aloof from the entire point."

I also regularly post quotes on my IG page:
https://www.instagram.com/yogibethc/

The oldest posts are probably my favorites, and the newer ones are more newly discovered.

These are all great quotes!

Mine is:

There are seven days of the week, and "someday" isn't one of them.

One of my favorite humorous quotes:

I don't feel old. I don't feel anything till noon. That's when it's time for my nap.
Bob Hope

So many great quotes so far!

I like the old classic by Lao Tsu:

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step."



And, from the post-apocalyptic novel "Swan Song" by Robert R. McCammon:

“Put one foot forward and the other will get you to where you are going~!" Bag Lady

What a great thread! Loving all the quotes.

This is not necessarily a quote but more of a motto that I try to keep in mind:

"Live well. Laugh often. Love much." I saw it behind someone on a zoom meeting.
