Any good quotes?

[chryslergreen]

I'd like to add a quote to the white space of the picture on this layout, but I haven't found one I like yet. Any suggestions? Maybe something that has to do with a journey (since we're on a train) - but it doesn't have to be. Just something simple and sweet. Any suggestions are welcome!

Dang. . . I couldn't find any with journey.

Here are some that I found:
Childhood is a promise that is never kept. ~Ken Hill

You are worried about seeing him spend his early years in doing nothing. What! Is it nothing to be happy? Nothing to skip, play, and run around all day long? Never in his life will he be so busy again. ~Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Emile, 1762

We do not remember days; we remember moments. ~Cesare Pavese, The Burning Brand

Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. And today? Today is a gift. That's why we call it the present. ~Babatunde Olatunji

Children have neither past nor future; they enjoy the present, which very few of us do. ~Jean de la Bruyere

Life's a journey, not a destination. ~Aerosmith

I got them all off of Quote Garden (http://www.quotegarden.com/index.html)

i found these on the internet maybe one will work for you


The road of life twists and turns and no two directions are ever the same. Yet our lessons come from the journey, not the destination.”



“Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.”

“To get through the hardest journey we need take only one step at a time, but we must keep on stepping”

“A journey is best measured in friends rather than miles”


“Too often we are so preoccupied with the destination, we forget the journey.”

“Journeys, like artists, are born and not made. A thousand differing circumstances contribute to them, few of them willed or determined by the will-whatever we may think.”

[Bean]

Here are a few I found at quotegarden.com


I soon realized that no journey carries one far unless, as it extends into the world around us, it goes an equal distance into the world within. ~Lillian Smith

It is good to have an end to journey toward, but it is the journey that matters in the end. ~Ursula K. LeGuin

Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So... get on your way. ~Dr. Seuss

A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles. ~Tim Cahill

Didn't President Hinckley give a talk about a train ride and how life is like a train ride. There might be a good quote from that talk-you could look it up on lds.org.

[JoDee:)]

I would totally look up that talk. There are some Awesome things here. i would be surprised if you haven't used one already, but here are some more.

Ridin' the Rails (most awesome quote from JoDee:) )

I love your most awesome quote JoDee!

Good luck Lynette with picking one.. there are a lot of great ones to pick from..

[chryslergreen]

Thanks for all the help! Reading all these reminded me of another quote I had seen years ago:
"Happiness is not a destination, but a manner of traveling."
So even though I didn't use any of the above - thanks for the inspiration. I'm sure I'll end up using some of these at some point!

[Jenny McDonald]

That's a great quote. I'm glad we could help help you with your inspiration.
