I don't even know there are too many great quotes.

Here are 2 I'm using and contemplating every day:

My mother's funeral is on Wednesday, and her favourite saying was "There is always someone worse off than you" even in her darkest years and hours of suffering. Release at last Mum! Bless her for being so helpful to the community for many years, a positive influence everywhere, a fundraiser, a loving parent, grandparent, and beloved great grandma. God rest Mum xxxx

Another favourite " I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my Dad did. Not screaming in terror like his passengers"

[Bluegreen]

"No."

I'm joking but not really. It truly is one of my favourite sayings and I use it on a regular basis.
