"Quotes"

Well this is a page for all the quotes that I have heard and like.  There are little sayings that caught my attention, and so aptly say many things I cannot find the words to get the point across with. And some of them are just cool.

If there is not a name after the quote, it means I am not sure who said it.  "-RD" means it was quoted from Reader's Digest's "Quotable Quotes" page.
