My 24+ Most Favorite Life Quotes

These are my 24 favorite quotes. Seriously. Some apply to my life, helping me to stay strong, live smart and be happy. A few apply to my children’s lives so they may live, learn and do better in all that they do.
And a few I created for display on merchandise so that others may also enjoy the words I use often:

1. Listen, Learn, Do.

One of my own, regularly recited to my two young sons to learn about how life works. Listen to what’s said to you, learn from it, then do it.

2. Do The Right Things, Get the Nice Things; Do the Wrong Things, Get NOTHING!
Another quote by me, and also regularly recited to my children.
