I love a good quote. They motivate me. They challenge me. They lift me up. They make me think. And especially if they are under 140 characters, I like to share them!
Here are some of my favorite quotes that speak to me as a blogger and WAHM. I hope they will speak to you as well.

I like this one: “The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything.” ~ Edward Phelps (And I love the tweetable quote idea!!)
Nice list of quotes. When I say goodnight on Twitter I try to leave a tweet about kindness and have been looking to quotes recently.
Inspiring quotes! I can almost relate to all of it. This is so true “Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.” ~ H. J. Grant . It’s the practical that’s worth than the theoretical one.
Great minds think alike! That helps me a lot when I have writers block! 😉
Great list! I am a sucker for a good quote. 🙂
Excellent quotes! I try to keep a running list, sort of subliminal messaging sometimes when I want to get a point across – whether it be friends or family. One of my favorites:
O would some Power
The giftie gie us
To see ourselves
As others see us~
Robert Burns
My favorite is by Sidney Howard “One half of knowing what you want is knowing what you must give up to get it” Recently, I have to give up my job because I want to be near with my family and praise the Lord I have a new job now 🙂
I love your list of quotes, I already see a couple I am going to add to my inspiration board! However, I really LOVE this quote because it’s been a part of a few decisions that I’ve made this year; “Better to write for yourself and have no public than to write for the public and have no self” by Cyril Connolly.
“Create a business out of inspiration, not desperation”. < This quote changed my life. No kidding.
You're talking about blogging here, right? Well, blogging is indeed a business. If you have genuine interest in the topic you blog about, if you're genuinely inspired, your success is guaranteed, in my opinion. There are so many bloggers out there who blog about random stuff that they don't even know about (and post nonsense content that they rewrite using spinning softwares, etc.) But, if you're inspired to create and maintain a blog on any topic like gardening, and you follow your dreams, you WON'T go wrong.
I am the same way about quotes…They inspire me so much. Certain quotes just jump out at me when I read them.. these are the ones I tweet and share on social networks.
They move us to do more, to love more .. to help other people…
Thanks for sharing :o)
Blessings,
