ReplyDeleteGreat collection. I love their messages despite their simplicity. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteDid that come out right... you know what I mean - that they can be so powerful in spite of their simplicity. It's late. Forgive my poor wording.

Lovely photo to go with you fabulous array of quotey goodness:)
ReplyDeleteI love quotes, these are great!
ReplyDeletegreat quote selections! one of my fave quotes is just like the Helen Keller: "On ne voit bien qu'avec le coeur; l'essential est invisible pour les yeuxs." Which means, "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; the essential is invisible to the eyes." It's from The Little Prince. :)
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard the one about wishing you were someone else - that is great! :)
