Over
the years I have come across some interesting quotes that have
stuck with me to this day. I have remembered them
specifically by engaging in the past experiences, or solely just
reading them. Some of them were motivating, some were
intriguing, and some were just flat out funny. In any
event, I have captured some of them below...
