Become Confident

Feel free to comment on what quotes you like, what quotes you dislike, what quotes should be put on t-shirts and sold, etc., and just have fun with these. You can write them down and have a small bank of quotes. Or, if you would like to, post some quotes you would like to see on here, whether they are your own or someone else's, as long as you tell me who said this thought, I will welcome it. As you can see, none of these quotes are my own and I have given credit to those who have been written as the first to voice these quotes. Thank you and have fun!
