Quote Collector at Large
It's an odd pastime of mine-- I collect quotes. I go to websites sometimes, and one of them that I found (and lost, sadly) was one that had images styled to look like bumper stickers. ;_; If anyone knows where this site is, please let me know!
In the meantime, I get quotes from The Great American Bathroom Book, various sites, signatures, Engrish.com... away messages, too. ^^ So add on to my list, please!

Well-behaved women rarely make history. -Laura Thatcher
A mind is like a parachute, it only works when open.
I went to the general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specific.
I've learned that... no matter how serious life requires you to be, everyone needs a friend to act goofy with.
Yesterday is history; tomorrow is a mystery; today is a gift.
Stressed spelled backwards equals desserts.

Marriage is the only adventure open to the timid. -Voltaire
We won't marry the boy with a camel. Nor the one with two donkeys. We're going to marry the boy that comes to take us away in a Mercedes. -African Folk Song (seriously!)
If youth is a defect, it is one we outgrow too soon. -Robert Lowell
Familiarity breeds contempt-- and children. -Mark Twain
Don't trust anyone over thirty. -Mario Savio
If children were allowed to run the country, we'd have soda flowing out of the drinking fountains, bridges built with Tinkertoys, styrofoam airliners, and bad countries would have to play by themselves. -Walter Wandheim
If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and walks like a duck, it is probably a horse. -Theodoro Valencia
During the 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago, then-Mayor Richard Daley said "The police are not here to create disorder. They are here to preserve disorder."
Late columnist Ann Landers was approached at a social function by a pompous senator who said, "So you're Ann Landers. Say something funny." Without hesitating, she replied, "So you're a politician. Tell me a lie."
I don't want to be quoted, and don't quote me that I don't want to be quoted. -Winston Burdett
Television is a gold goose that lays scrambled eggs; and it is futile and probably fatal to beat it for not laying caviar. -Lee Loevinger
People have forgotten how to tell a story. Stories don't have a middle or an end anymore. They usually have a beginning that doesn't stop beginning. -Steven Spielberg
There is nothing permanent except change. -Heraclitus
Still ending, and beginning still. -Cowper
Reading and writing, arithmetic and grammar do not constitute education, any more than a knife, fork and spoon constitute a dinner. -Lubbock
A teacher is like the candle which lights others in consuming itself. -Giovanni Ruffini
Experience is a good school. But the fees are high. -Heinrich Heine
Books have to be read. It is the only way of discovering what they contain. A few savage tribes eat them, but reading is the only method of assimilation revealed to the West. -E.M. Forster
If you think education is expensive, try ignorance. -Derek Bok
A university is what a college becomes when the faculty loses interest in the students. -John Ciardi
