iKayaks thread about belatedly observing Stash's signature and wondering who's the quote was got me thinking that everybody has quotes we like or carry over time. I do. But a repository of those quotes or a "resting place" of old signatures could be interesting to build.

Found in one of "those" emails:

Republicans and Democrats don't "get" each other.

“If there is any one secret of success, it lies in the ability to get the other person's point of view and see things from that person's angle as well as from your own.”
Henry Ford

American's "get" it.

Which are you?

The clock is running. Make the most of today. Time waits for no man. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present. Alice Morse Earle

If haply a fool should find for himself wealth or a woman's love, pride waxes in him but wisdom never, and onward he fares in his folly.
