Favorite Quotes

Someone once asked me why I love inspirational quotes. I had to think about that. Why would I quote somebody else, when my own head is full of words begging to get out?

Simple.  I love the thought of repeating what someone said decades (or centuries) ago, and wondering what drove them to write that down.
