I love using quotations from the world’s great thinkers. leaders, writers, poets and books. I am a quotes's collector. When I find something which strikes me I write it down (by hand) and read it again and again.
A great quote contains a wealth of wisdom that may have taken the author years to arrive at, in a single line. Quotes have the ideal answer to a challenge or situation you are facing.
