Quotations For All Occasions

Every famous and infamous writer, playwright, philosopher, politician, and humorist has at one point been quoted for something. I happened to hear an interesting quote today and so I am thinking that today is a good day to round up some quotations and spread them out like a deck of cards for the world to examine. Where possible I will cite the authors, but even with research some are unknown to me so I will attribute them as such. If you have some idea who said what, feel free to drop a note and I will correct myself accordingly. I have personally never said anything that is quotable, but perhaps some day I just might. In the mean time, I hope you find something here that might be of value to you or make you smile or think about life, or just enjoy for a moment.
