Quotable Sunday/ Breast Cancer Awareness Month



October is Breast Cancer Awareness month , but I consider every month of the year cancer awareness month.       Fighting for one... is fighting for all.
My quotes today are dedicated to all those wonderful, courageous people battling cancer.   We all  know somebody who is struggling with this awful disease in one form or another.
 When we work together for a cure, nothing is impossible!

  3. I always love your quotes!

    You've probably seen this one [and it's longer than a quote] but it is attributed to Mother Teresa.

    People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.

    If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

    If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.

    If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.

    What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.

    If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

    The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.

    Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.

    In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.

    You're right,inspiring quotes from inspiring people mean so much.
    Christopher Reeves inspired me so much. I was also paralized at 6 months of age and had to fight to walk again...he started from a place of having so much and then losing so much.
    Thanks Lin, have a good week.
