I love quotes—the echoes of life reflected into our world to admire, respect, contemplate, or simply enjoy. When words are arranged to pack a punch with insightful meaning, I’m excited and inspired. I have favorites about life, family, friends, faith, and of course writing, and I’d like to share some of those with you today.
