I particularly like this one “You can’t be who you are today, without being who you were in the past.” Thanks for the list!! I will add more too, but here’s the thing. My quotes word document is password protected and SOMEHOW it won’t open anymore. I am very very worried because I spent years adding to it! But I will post a question about it and hopefully the fluther community will be able to help me unlock it. Once that’s done, I will be sure to add more :)

That would be my worst nightmare! Luckily I have them in several different places.
Maybe if you ever get that document open you could email it to me sometime :)
