Take these quotes only for what they are worth to you. No one is required to agree with them. I want some that offer encouragement. But I also look for ones that have a little more content than just moralizing, preaching, or fluff. If any feel judgy, critical, or cynical, or just don't work for you then take them with a grain of salt. Please share your thoughts about them.
