If you're like me, you probably have a document (likely in digital format) where you jot down your favorite quotes from movies, books, proverbs, etc. My file has reached an hundred quotes, and I've decided to extract some of my favourites and share them with you, kindly inviting you to do the same in the replies 😊

Oh I love quotes. Here’s one that I picked up recently: John Wooden once said, “Success is the peace of mind that is a direct result of self/satisfaction in knowing we made the effort to become the best that we are capable of becoming.”
I like the one about the mind being a heaven of hell
