I was looking through my writings, both blogs and books, and noticed I really like a well-placed famous quote. So I wanted to share some of my favorite quotes and who I believe said them. Certainly many quotes have been stated over and over again, so I apologize if I miss the original author of the quote by someone who made the quote famous. I am surprised at the number of quotes that are consistently misquoted as well. I hope you enjoy my favorite quotes as well.
