I came across the quote below through listening to another podcast. I wanted to share it with others and then thought that a thread of memorable quotes would be a great addition to these forums. I'm a teacher and I love having inspirational, funny, or thoughtful quotes to share with my students. If you can, please post a link to the quote or cite who it's attributed to and where it's taken from. Quote away!
