Congratulations Cynthia! I love all these quotes. :) My favorite quote (other than the ones above) is: God does notice us, and he watches over us. But it is usually through another person that he meets our needs. Therefore, it is vital that we serve each other in the kingdom. ~President Spencer W. Kimball or: Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

I love both of these, but especially that one from Ralph Waldo. I have been guilty of obsessing over something I've done or said that was probably not noticed by others but seemed so embarrassing when I looked back. lol. Thanks for the quotes.

"The sweetest experience I know in life is to feel a prompting and act upon it and later find out that it was the fulfillment of someone's prayer, or someone's need. And I always want the Lord to know, if he needs an errand run, Tom Monson (put in your own name) will run that errand for Him." -President Thomas S. Monson

"It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice", "Life is God’s Gift to Man. What We Do with It Is Our Gift to God.", and, one of my favorites that makes me chuckle, "I know God won't give me more than I can handle, I just wish He didn't trust me so much!" - Mother Teresa

These are all great sayings! My favorite quote is: "Everything will be all right in the end. If it isn't all right - it isn't the end." Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley
