Quotable Quotes

I have a collection of quotes from various places. This week I decided to sort through them with the intent of having quotes in my office that are "therapeutic". Good thing I get to make the decision on that one. Anyway, as I'm going through literally hundreds of quotes I start thinking about the people who find the quotes. If I had the time then I'd try and find the real source of the quotes instead of just taking the shortcut. One of my favorite quotes is by Ralph Waldo Emerson and so with the plan of finding the quote, I bought a book. I'm about ten pages in and have been there for about the length of time I've been in my new place.

One day, I'll be someone who finds quotes in books and posts them somewhere. It makes me miss the times when there were people who actually wrote about success and virtues and honor and all that jazz. Not that there are not people that do it now, but it just seems to not be as abundant. Oh the old days, haha. :) In any case, I should finish this RWE book so I can justify buying the next one. So far the most quoted people are (aside from the obvious) Eric Hoffer and George Eliot.

We'll see how long it takes me to pick that back up again.
