You know, the kind that typically go below your name on emails -- those are what I'm looking for. Actually, a friend of mine is looking for quotes like that to compile for a book he's writing, so I need who wrote it or said it as well. Attribution is necessary for publication & to get selected as Best Answer to my question.
In order for originals written by you to be published in the book, your real name is necessary -- so, if U prefer, U may use your handle or nickname here, & then send me an email with your quote & real name if U don't want to post it here, (I understand fully). U can email me off the link tied to my profile page, just be sure to include your quote & name together. Thanks!
OK, my favorite quote lately has been:
“Life is ‘good’ because God gave it to you.
Make the most of that talented gift & share
it with others every chance you get!”
--(I can't find the original quote/author & I adapted it to make it mine).
Now what's yours?
