When people in the public eye say something profound that is full of wisdom and that stands the test of time (meaning it was relevant then and remains so after they're gone), how awesome is that? It reminds me of Proverbs.



I love to use famous quotes on my FB status. My personal favorite is Ben Franklin. We say many things that originated in his head.

"A penny saved is a penny earned."

"A place for everything, everything in it's place."

Just to name a couple.



Post your favorite quote. It doesn't have to be motivational or inspirational, it just has to have struck a chord with you and be from someone in the public eye.



Me first!!:laugh:



"Abscence sharpens love, presence strenghtens it." _ Ben Franklin

I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you.

I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me.

I love you because you have done more than any creed could have done to make me good, and more than any fate could have done to make me happy.

You have done it without a touch, without a word, without a sign. You have done it by being yourself. --Not sure!



A woman is like a tea bag - you can't tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water.---Eleanor Roosevelt



So kiss me my sweet, and so let us part� And when I grow too old to dream, that kiss will live in my heart. � Nat King Cole-also Diana Krall-it is a song.

But the best/worst of times they have a way

of clouding my memory.

Remind me.

Pursue me.

Bring the wonder back to my memory.

You're so graceful.

I'm forgetful

of all the ways that You're always faithful.

Let Your love remind me.

-String Around My Finger by Geoff Moore And The Distance
