Welcome to these Leaps Quotes of the Day from my large collection of positive, romantic, and funny quotes.
Everyone has an opinion on many subjects
and is ready to share those opinions -
labeling them as "truth."
Sometimes it is relatively easy
to filter out these opinions.

than to raise our filter of skepticism
and ask the hard questions.
