A simple list of some of my favorite quotes.

A quote is both inspiring and meaningful.  It expands your soul while at the same time can become a mantra to repeat in life.

A good quote is almost as good as good memory of a past experience.  Well not really, a good memory is worth much more than a good quote.  A good quote is more like a good piece of cake.
