    Of these listed here, the two that I like best are:

    Do one thing every day that scares you.” – Eleanor Roosevelt

    I love this one.  I can’t say I’ve done that everyday, but the greatest growth, the best things that have come to me in my life have been when I did something that scared the ka-wadden out of me, but I knew it was something I really wanted to do.

    The second one, I’ve lived my life by, starting at age 24:

    “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I – I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” – Robert Frost

    I’ve very different from all in my family.  I’ve lived a life they would not live.  For me it’s been the best choice ever.

     

    A quote that I really like is by Leonardo:  He who truly knows has no occassion to shout.  As I age, I’m shouting a lot less.
