one of my favorite things to do is collect quotes.  i love the inspiration they provide and somehow they always bring me right back to the place i need to be.

today, this week, this month i need the love of the words. 

"success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm"
~winston churchill

"i, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today.  i can choose which it shall be"
~groucho marx 

"keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions.  small people always do that, but really great people make you feel that you, too, can become great"
~mark twain

"the greatest thing you can do is surprise yourself"
~steve martin
