Words to Live By

As I travel both near and far, I collect words that I hear along the way. Here are some that I feel a need to share. If I own it or know who does, I will put the name up. The 'anonymous' should suffice for if any other quotes you see here. Also, if it's in quotation marks, it's directly from me. Enjoy! ^_^
