    I’ve had the Eleanor Roosevelt quote on my computer before – it’s one of my favorites. Here’s another favorite back atcha:
    "Courage is never to let your actions by influenced by your fears." Arthur Koestler

    oops, I hate typos – "… let your actions be influenced …" not by. I know, you figured it out, but I still couldn’t let that one go by. Or did I just let my actions be influenced by my fear?

    Great quotes, Sasha! Wasn’t the Eleanor Roosevelt quote used in The Princess Diaries?

    And somebody (Briana, maybe?) posted a quote that I now have on a virtual Post-It on my desktop:

    Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. (Ralph Waldo Emerson )

  4. Since I need extra smiles this week, I picked two of my other favorite Mae West quotes:
    "It’s not the men in my life, but the life in my men."
    "I generally avoid temptation unless I can’t resist it."

    But, just to be fair, here is a good one from Indira Gandhi:
    "You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist."

    My all time favorite sayings. (one is religious, sorry for the non religious people)

    and

    A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
