Got Any Good Quotes?

This is kind of a silly idea, but I really like it. I drink Yogi Tea a lot, and on the “handle” of the tea bag, they always print a little quote. Only perhaps ten words, but it’s nice. Something like “beauty comes from within” or “to laugh is to love.”

Anyway, I’d like to collect a bunch of little anonymous quotes, and put one at the very bottom of each page. Something most folks won’t notice, but if you do, it would be a pleasant little surprise.

Anybody care to share a quote or two they love? Just post ‘em in here. I’m hoping to get 50 to 100 quotes!
