I love inspirational quotes. I read through them from time to time and I always feel better after sharing the thoughts of yesterday and today's greatest minds. Here are a few:

"Whatever you want to do, just do it. Don’t worry about making a fool of yourself. Making a fool of yourself is absolutely essential." - Gloria Steinem
