    I thank you so much. This quote and the others were right on time. I have been searching for motivational quotes to keep me going. Just something to be able to ponder on that can help me hold up my chin one more day. Please keep this thread going. God Bless you jemommy.

    Thank you sooooo much smiley student. I am extremely happy to help. I need these from time to time myself. :kiss

    "If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten."

    Now, if that quote doesn't give me a big kick in the rear nothing will.

    "A Journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
    I just couldn't resist replying to this one - as my signature would suggest I'm into oddball quotes . . .

    "The journey of a thousand miles sometimes ends very, very badly"
    [Picture a salmon leaping triumphantly out of a sparkling stream into the wide-open jaws of a grizzly bear]

    Mostly I cope with humor, trying not to take myself too seriously.

    good day all

    here's one....

    [font=bookman old style]the road

    [font=bookman old style]the road to success is not straight.
    [font=bookman old style]there is a curve called failure, a loop called confusion, detours called friends, red lights called enemies, yield signs called family. as well as flats called delays.

    [font=bookman old style]but, if you go down the road having a spare tire called determination, an engine called perseverance, insurance called faith, and a map called focus; you will make it to a place called success.

    [font=bookman old style]the road to success is not straight.....


    have a great thanksgiving everyone,
