I thought I’d start to share each Monday the most RT’d quote from the blogs twitter account over the previous week.
This last week produced a tie between:
“People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.”
(Dale Carnegie)
Tweeted on 4th January
and
“What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.”
(Pericles)
Tweeted on 1st January

Many thanks to everyone who shared the quotes above and the other quotes from last week. I know that there are various aspects that can influence if a quote attracts your attention – if you saw the tweet, personal style, if it speaks to something happening in your life at that moment etc.
Personally, I think both quotes can provoke some interesting thoughts and discussions. As I type this if I had to choose just one of the quotes I’d probably pick the one by Pericles, but that’s something that I’d quite likely change my mind about if you asked me again tomorrow!

What about you? At this moment, if you could only pick one of those quotes, which one would you select?
