Quotes

I love Twitter! It's been a great tool in motivation, thought and practicality. And I confess, I'm on twitter primarily for what I gain from it, not what I can add to it. I only tweet once or twice per day, but I read what others are thinking multiple times throughout the day. I laugh a lot and enjoy catching up with others. But my favorite thing about twitter are the short quotes that make me stop and meditate. It's amazing how thought-provoking and challenging 140 characters can be. So here's a few quotes from a few of the folks I follow that I've been thinking about over the past month. And FYI, you can follow them as well at twitter. This is just a snippet of all the good stuff at twitter.com! May you be as challenged and encouraged as I have been!
