I'm trying to think of some new quotes to put on a bulletin board, and also to use for cards, printed out on vellum. I've seen so many I like on people's signatures here so thought I'd open up the box!
Personally, my all-time favorite is: "Work like you don't need the money, Love like you've never been hurt, and Dance like no one is watching." But there are so many more! Let's hear 'em! - J.
Are you asking for sentiments or widely known/along the lines of famous type quotes?
"No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted."
"Kind words never fade."
"We've been through a lot together. . . And most of it was your fault!"
"Cheer the hell up!" (a personal favorite)
"Don't sweat the petty stuff, and don't pet the sweaty stuff!" (good with animal images)
Other than that, there are a number of quotation sites--just do a google and you'll find some very popular ones that will supply you with plenty of quotes.

Thanks, Julie. These are all good. I know about the quote sites, but there are so many out there, I thought I'd ask for some quick ones on here, vs. spending a few days going through so many (and not even knowing which ones to search on specifically). Plus, as some you've listed that are more quirky, I just couldn't get anywhere else!
You should not have posted such a wonderful post. You now have unleashed the beast.
This is the beginning of a new day
You have been given this day to use as you will.
You can waste it or use it for good.
What you do today is important because you are
exchanging a day of your life for it.
When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever;
in its place is something that you have left behind...
let it be something good.
My Favorite one... I only wish I could fit it on my tag line. so I downsized it.

Choose your words,

As the mother of three kids 3 years old and under at one time in the not so distant past this one always spoke to me:
"It's been a long day with short people."
And being from the beautiful last frontier state with black velvet skies filled with stars, another of my favorites from Longfellow:
"Silently, one by one, in the infinite meadows of heaven blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels."
The forget-me-not is our state flower too
I do scrapbooking too and find a lot of favorite quotes and one liners from poetry. My favorites are Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, Keats and Longfellow.
I actually have a little book with my favorite quotes written in it (and I stamped in it too of course!). Here are some of my favorites:
God may have created man before woman, but there is always a rough draft before the masterpiece.
Be mindful that happiness is not based on possessions, power or prestige, but on relationships with people you love and respect.

Imagination is the eye of the soul.
Fashion fades. Only style remains. - Coco Chanel

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.
I'm a few fries short of a happy meal.
If you take any activity, any art, any discipline, any skill, take it and push it as far as it will go, push it beyond where it has ever been before, push it to the wildest edge of edges, then you force it into the realm of MAGIC. - Tom Robbins
I heard this one from Edward on Trading Spaces: Build a bridge and get over it!
