Words That Speak to Me

What words move you? Is it a quote by Gandhi, Grandma ... pop diva Gaga?

Just about everyone has that one quote stashed among words we'll never forget. You know, words that speak to you.

For some, it's a clever Shakespeare line or a wise family saying passed through generations. For others, it's wisdom from an old boss or a sermon that made you think. Or maybe words from a favorite song!

We're launching a new series, Words That Speak to Me. Share a quote that fits that description. And tell us why it's significant in your life.

So speak to us now by answering a short list of questions. We'll read every response.
