Quotables #10

A couple of days ago I was shocked when I noticed that on my phone are stored 7,920 pictures and 1,278 videos. YIKES!  So I spent a couple of hours scrolling through the phone app and started deleting - about 724 were deemed by me to be not useful anymore - so they have been permanently removed. In order to downsize even more, I'm doing another Quotable post based on the screenshots of terrific quotes I have found. You all know the drill: Please let me know your favorites! 😉

Mine are #6, 8, 12, 13, and 14.
