I have an idea!!

[steph]

I'm starting to get really into quotes lately, so I thought it would be fun if we all posted our favourite quote in this thread! It would be a wonderful resource for all of us to have!!!

Here is mine:

"Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.
Walk beside me and be my friend."
- Albert Camus

I love this quote!!!
