When people in the public eye say something profound that is full of wisdom and that stands the test of time (meaning it was relevant then and remains so after they're gone), how awesome is that? It reminds me of Proverbs.



I love to use famous quotes on my FB status. My personal favorite is Ben Franklin. We say many things that originated in his head.

"A penny saved is a penny earned."

"A place for everything, everything in it's place."

Just to name a couple.



Post your favorite quote. It doesn't have to be motivational or inspirational, it just has to have struck a chord with you and be from someone in the public eye.



Me first!!:laugh:



"Abscence sharpens love, presence strenghtens it." _ Ben Franklin

I've always found humor in these:



�I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.� Robert McCloskey



�Love is like a booger. You keep picking at it until you get it, then wonder what to do with it.� Anonymous



�Everyone has a photographic memory. Some don't have film.�

Anonymous



This is one I used to tell a certain Vegetarian I knew:

�If we're not supposed to eat animals, how come they're made out of meat?� ME! (I wish-really by Tom Snyder)



This one has always been one of my favorites:

"Let us so live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry." Mark Twain

I can't remember of any quote from any famous people but I do remember one quote from my 5 year old nephew. Well he's pretty famous in the communities he joins anyway, so maybe that counts! (Hopefully for the sake of this topic :ROFL:)



"Don't take little children with you, they're difficult"
