You May Quote Me

Today's antidepressant is my personal favorite.

I love quotes. I remember random witty or silly things that are said to me (or around me), and I cherish them. Today, I'm sharing some of my favorite quotes. Some are funny; some are deep.

And what the Lord commands, we should obey
Without regard to what the world may say."

"I like my men like I like my tea--weak and green."

Horace Mann
