And I quote...

One of my favorite RSS feeds is "Quote of the Day" <http://www.quotationspage.com/data/qotd.rss> from The Quotations Page. Here are a few pithy statements that I don't want to lose track of:

People find life entirely too time-consuming. Stanislaw J. Lec, "Unkempt Thoughts" Polish writer (1909 - 1966)

I find that a great part of the information I have was acquired by looking up something and finding something else on the way. Franklin P. Adams US journalist (1881 - 1960)

We are generally the better persuaded by the reasons we discover ourselves than by those given to us by others. Blaise Pascal French mathematician, physicist (1623 - 1662)

Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted. Martin Luther King Jr. US black civil rights leader & clergyman (1929 - 1968)

To punish me for my contempt for authority, fate made me an authority myself. Albert Einstein US (German-born) physicist (1879 - 1955)

I always posted a "Quote of the Day" near the entrance to my school library - the pithier the better. Those quotes and many since added are still on my favorite quotations page. Enjoy.

Oh, the fellow pictured with his quote is Graham Greene.

I just fixed the RSS feed to make it the Quote of the Day feed. I had the feed for Quoteflections, Paul Cormier's brilliant blog, in earlier <http://quoteflections.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default>. Thanks to Paul for bringing this to my attention.

There are many quotes in your quote bank I really like such as the above. I am doing a copy and paste and keeping them in a file. Thanks for sharing what you have gleaned over the years.

Thanks, Paul. Your comment made me go back and re-read my list again. You might find a few in that list I harvested from your blog as well.

Take care,

Doug
