Every time I run across a quote I like I put it on my list. For the past year or so I've been putting a new quote in my email signature every day. Lately I've taken to memorizing one a day. I've been surprised at how useful they have become, when memorized. Here's a few more from my list. Some of these are my "classics," which I've had and used for many years.
