I'm a collector of quotes. They're a fantastic tool to use in living life intentionally. They can give us courage when we're scared, hope when we're discouraged, strength when we feel like giving up, clarity when we're confused, perspective when we feel insignificant. They have the power to bring light to our darkness, remind us to keep our sense of humor when we're weighed down, and help us remember who we are and who we want to be. It's like magic.

So, today I'm sharing a few of my favorite quotes. I'm not even going to comment on them so as to let them stand on their own and speak to you in your own way.

Albert Camus.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved.

Thomas S. Monson
