my favorite:

Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Another one:

"Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You."

both are Dr. Seuss. Love him

Well there went a good 20 minutes of my night!
Those were great!
I just repined a ton of them and am trying to decide which to hang on my door at work tomorrow!

This would be great for a summer month, and if your family has a sense of humor...If life hands you melons you might be dyslexic.

HAHAHA! There's a fun catchphrase/battle cry for dyslexics: "Dyslexics of the world, UNTIE!!!"

Here are the ones I have on FB:

"The faintest ink is better than the best memory." -
(heard on Mad Men)

"Memories hide in every corner of my house, and I take great delight every time I stumble across one."

"Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight, very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday."
~ John Wayne

"She never quite leaves her children at home, even when she doesn't take them along."
~ Margaret Culkin Banning

Here's some family ones and a few others:

God has given us no greater blessing
than that of belonging to a loving
and loyal family - and it will be
so, always and forever.

"Other things may change us,
but we start and end with family."
Anthony Brandt

The family is our refuge and springboard...our
link to the past, our bridge to the future

Those who love us
celebrate the true essence of
who we are and have faith in
all that we may become.

--Flavia

We are never alone in this world,
for we are all connected by heartstrings
and hope and the miracle of care. --Flavia

Grandparents and grandchildren,
Together they create a chain of love
Linking the past
With the future.
The chain may lengthen,
But it will never part.

We could learn a lot from crayons:
Some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors, but they all have to learn to live in the same box.

A boy is a magical creature.
You can lock him out of your workshop,
but you can't lock him out of your heart.
You can get him out of your study,
but you can't get him out of your mind.

Alan Beck

"As soon as I saw you, I knew an
adventure was going to happen." – Pooh

At the height of laughter, the universe is flung into a kaleidoscope of new possibilities. ~Jean Houston

Family faces are magic mirrors.
Looking at people who belong to us,
We see the past, present and future.
Gail Lumet Buckley

"A son leaves your home but never your heart. He follows his own path, but your hopes travel with him. He discovers his own happiness, which, in turn, becomes yours. Life changes. Love lasts forever."


"Heal the past; live the present; dream the future."
-unknown

"We are not permitted to choose the frame of our destiny. But what we put into it is ours."
-Dag Hammarskjold

"Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose."
-Lyndon B. Johnson

"Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice: it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved."
-William Jennings Bryan

One should take children’s philosophy to heart. They never despise a bubble because it burst; they set to work to blow another one. Unknown.

Come dance with the west wind and touch
on the mountain tops,
Sail over the canyons and up to the stars,
And reach for the heavens and hope for the future,
And all that we "can" be, not just what we are.

A man finds room in the few square inches of his
face for the traits of all his ancestors; for the
expression of all his history, and his wants.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Make the most of yourself...for that is all there is of you.
--Ralph Waldo Emerson

Shoot for the moon. Even if you
miss, you'll land among the stars." Les Brown

"I am always doing that which I cannot do in order to learn how to do
it." Picasso

The greatest happiness in the world is the conviction that we are loved.

And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair. Kahlil Gibran

Every blade of grass has its angel that bends over it
and whispers, 'Grow, grow.'

Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength. – Arnold Schwarzenegar

OK, got a little carried away there...
