I love a good quote.

I follow the Caring Bridge journal of the mother of Nick Jones, a young man of 16 in Kansas City who has been battling cancer for some time now. She begins most every journal entry with a relevant quote. Here is todays, I love it:

If you put a small value on yourself, rest assured that the world will not raise your price. ~Anonymous
Here’s a quote I keep on my inspiration board.

"an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind" which is attributed to mahatma gandhi.

my other favorite is from douglas adams "i love deadlines. i like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by."

i try to live by them both. i don't poke out eyes and i listen to deadlines (but don't observe them)...perhaps i need new quotes?
