a few favorite quotes..

"Perhaps, after all, romance did not come into one’s life with pomp and blare, like a gay knight riding down; perhaps it crept to one’s side like an old friend through quiet ways; perhaps it revealed itself in seeming prose, until some sudden shaft of illumination flung athwart its pages betrayed the rhythm and the music; perhaps . . . perhaps . . . love unfolded naturally out of a beautiful friendship, as a golden-hearted rose slipping from its green sheath."
— L.M. Montgomery

" I want to marry a man prepared to swim against the tide"
- Elizabeth Elliot

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

"I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens, but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string."
— L.M. Montgomery

"The fact that I am a woman does not make me a different kind of christian,But the fact that I am a christian does make me a different kind of woman."
— Elisabeth Elliot

"Maturity starts with the willingness to give oneself."

— Elisabeth Elliot

"Stay, stay at home, my heart, and rest;

Home-keeping hearts are happiest,
For those that wander they know not where
Are full of trouble and full of care;
To stay at home is best.

Weary and homesick and distressed,
They wander east, they wander west,
And are baffled and beaten and blown about
By the winds of the wilderness of doubt;
To stay at home is best.

Then stay at home, my heart, and rest;
The bird is safest in its nest;
O’er all that flutter their wings and fly
A hawk is hovering in the sky;
To stay at home is best."- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

"Do I like jello?"
"Nice coat. Merry Christmas to you too. You're beautiful. Will you marry me? I love you!" -While You Were Sleeping

"Thank yer, ladies and gentlemen. Thank yer" -You've Got Mail

“You can't help respecting anybody who can spell TUESDAY, even if he doesn't spell it right; but spelling isn't everything. There are days when spelling Tuesday simply doesn't count.” - Winnie the Pooh

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Quite frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" -Gone With the Wind

"That's Re-dikorus." -Tigger
