I’ve gathered these quotes from various sources all over the internet. Good quotations resonate in your soul. They make you think, I wish that someday I might say something as profound as that...Good quotes are words the people have spoken that hold true today, just as much as when the author spoke them into being. Good quotes are spoken words that create feelings and emotions within us that make you stop and think and ...wonder.
