These may just be irritating to some people…which makes me laugh. But they might be a nice thing for others. I figured, if most of these quotes come from smart-ish philosophers, brilliant authors, or catchy poets they’d carry a little more weight and not come off so preachy or Pollyanna-ish.
Take ’em or leave ’em. It’s my Sunday contribution. Enjoy.
“Everyone wants happiness, nobody wants pain. But you can’t have a rainbow, without a little rain.” – Author Unknown
(Honestly wouldn’t this look cute on a meme with a happy little rainbow? or maybe a double rainbow?)

And who could argue with Immanuel Kant.
something to do,
someone to love,
something to hope for.”
–Immanuel Kant (this link takes you to a slightly PG rated 3 minute philosophy buzz about Kant – highly entertaining, but maybe discounts his believability as the author of this particular quote.)
And then there’s this lovely thought by Jane Austen that captures how I’ve felt lately…
