2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.

3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends
and parents will. Stay in touch.

5. Pay off your credit cards every month.

will this matter?'

34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you
did or didn't do.

Hehe, I saw that too, but I chose to interpret them as "You only get one chance to raise your child, but it's never too late to be a kid again."

These are simply awesome adam. Best quotes I've heard in a long time :) I'm having a hard time deciding which one is my favorite because they're all so true! Thanks for posting this adam, you really made me feel good! :lol:

So true. If you think your life sucks, you've just been lucky how much it hasn't sucked so far.
 
these quotes bring me that little bit of calm in the storm that is my life. thanks for this Adam, just for that moment of reflection.

#5 - Now you tell me, jk. Seriously though, do this one.

#8 - Thank you. Now I know it's ok to flip off that jerk that pulled out in front of me when he clearly saw me coming from 500 feet away and I now have to stomp on the breaks just so I don't rear end the idiot. *sigh* :cautious:

#19 - I never stopped having the first one.

:D
