A little inspiration

Lately I have been trying to read more and not just my textbooks (who am I kidding, I rarely read those!) but real books. Those of you who know me know that I am kind of into the Harry Potter series. So I've been trying to read those, but it's coming along kind of slow. I started reading them about a year ago and am just now on the 5th book. Anyway, I have also decided to start buying the books that I see at Barnes and Noble that I think would be a good read. I used to pass them up thinking I would get them later, but I would forget the names of them. So I just go ahead and buy them now. Instead of just reading one book now, I am in the middle of three. Oops. One of the three books contains some quotes in it that I really like. I have been thinking about life alot lately and these have really put it in perspective for me. I thought I would share some of my favorites with those of you who actually read this. So here goes:

"The most wasted day of all is that on which we have not laughed."
-Sebastien Chamfort

"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."
-Theodore Roosevelt

"Why cling to the pain and the wrongs of yesterday? Why hold on to the very things that keep you from hope and love?"
-Buddha

"One kind word can warm three winter months."

"Love-the more you share with others, the more you have."
-Mother Teresa
