Oops. Sorry! Make that 4. (It's still a very short posting, though.)

Here goes:

Oh heck. Let’s just make it an even 5, shall we?? (Well, 6 if we include the Mark Twain one…)

“I do not want to talk about what you understand about this world. I want to know what you will do about it. I do not want to know what you hope. I want to know what you will work for. I do not want your sympathy for the needs of humanity. I want your muscle.” ~ Robert Fulghum

If, like me, you find yourself energized by inspiring quotations, please consider visiting my old site – JanetsPlanet – & checking out the ‘Quotation Central’ section. It’s got OODLES of good quotations – in a whole bunch of different categories. From A - Z, pretty much (well, W, but who’s counting?)

You’re bound to find a gem or three there!
