My favorite of all:

I love quotes in general..I'll go and read certain categories sometimes...just according to how I'm feeling. I've learned a lot from them, and see something new every time..

Yes..the longer it takes to explain something important..the less meaning it has..not a direct quote...but something I learned from a Buddhist monk quote...

Also-an empty vessel does make the loudest sound in a different respect...and that's when there's no sound at all...that one's just me..

"You may fool all of the people some of the time,
you may even fool some of the people all of the time,
but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time."

- Abraham Lincoln

If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else,it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there. You must go beyond them.
~Bruce Lee
