Quotes I live by

As I have heard, quoting does not mean you are an intelligent person. However, I feel that the sign of intelligence is whether you actually follow the advice of intelligent people. If you can discern the bullshit from the genuine words of wisdom, I give you kudos, you're on your way.

Here are a few quotes that I either live by personally, or that I find so cute/adorable/hilarious that I wanted to share them with you [all 2 of my followers ;)] Maybe you can read these, and bring them into your own daily activities. I tried to pare it down a bit, but sorry if there are quite a few!
