I happen to love my  Google Chrome home page.  What I find special about it is that you can make it your very personal page.  One of the things that I really, really enjoy on mine are the quotes.

If you've not used Google as your Internet browser you may not have seen the quotes that appear daily.  I have found so many that I began saving some of the ones that I really like.  Reasons for liking them differ depending on the quote.  While some are funny, most are pretty thought provoking.  I'm sure you will probably realize that they are also the quotes that make the most sense to me.

If you read these daily quotes, and I don't read them every single day...just almost every single day, you probably have your own favorites which you may or may not have saved.  I, of course, save them because if I don't chances are I won't remember them.

As I was adding one this evening I thought I would share some of them and here they are:

Happiness is not achieved by the conscious pursuit of happiness; it is generally the by-product of other activities.
  - Aldous Huxley
 
Every man is wise when attacked by a mad dog; fewer when pursued by a mad woman; only the wisest survive when attacked by a mad notion.
  - Robertson Davies
 
The first question I ask myself when something doesn't seem to be beautiful is why do I think it's not beautiful. And very shortly you discover that there is no reason.

Nothing is impossible for the man who doesn't have to do it himself.
  - A. H. Weiler
