Quote Time!

I found a small note pad that I used while living in the dorms in school. It was sort of my "Quote of the Day" note pad. Whenever I heard or read a quote or scripture I felt was applicable to my life at the time, I wrote it down in this notebook. Then when I'd wake up in the morning I'd flip open to a quote and display it on my dresser where I could see it. It was sort of my theme for the day.

It's nice to go back and read through these quotes and be reminded of how those quotes impacted me and where I was in my life (why I wrote them down?). Of course, these quotes are still useful to me now as I'm still working to improve and understand myself.

Here is what I found:
