Love these, do you mind if they appear on my Facebook page occasionally - they are so good to share :))) I do like your favourite too and the one by LIW.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jo. Please feel free to share them occasionally on your blog too. :-) I think I collected all of them from the internet at various times and places. There are some good "quote pages" that are very useful tools.
