Oh how I love quotes! Love, love, love them! I love being inspired by what others have to say. I finally got tired of thinking "oh that's a good quote, I can't forget it", only to forget it. Even if I write it down I lose the paper it's written on. Oh how I wish I had all those little pieces of papers so I could add them all to my collection here.

"Worry does not empty tomorrow of it's sorrow it empties today of it's strength"

"I wish the Lord would just knock me over with kindness and goodness and simple purity, because I don't seem to be getting the knack of it on my own."

A house is a house is a house-until love comes through the door, that is. And
love intuitively goes around sprinkling that special brand of angel dust that
transforms a house into a very special home for very special people: your
family.
Money, of course, can build a charming house, but only love can furnish it
with a feeling of home.
Duty can pack an adequate sack lunch, but love may decide to tuck a little
love note inside.
Money can provide a television set, but love controls it and cares enough to
say no and take the guff that comes with it.
Obligation sends the children to bed on time, but love tucks the covers in
around their necks and passes out kisses and hugs (even to teenagers!).
Obligation can cook a meal, but love embellishes the table with a potted ivy
trailing around slender candles.
Duty writes many letters, but love tucks a joke or a picture or a fresh stick
of gum inside.
Compulsion keeps a sparkling house. But love and prayer stand a better chance
of producing a happy family.
Duty gets offended quickly if it isn’t appreciated. But love learns to laugh
a lot and to work for the sheer joy of doing it.
Obligation can pour a glass of milk, but quite often love will add a little
chocolate.
