VARIOUS FAVORITE QUOTES
Some people think that by quoting someone their wisdom and genius would “rub off” on them. Quoting others is easy, anyone can do it. To share something does not mean you truly understand and live by what it represents. Fortunately in most cases a shared quote reflect persons thoughts, feelings, and ideals. Some people though use them to “enhance” their image, creating a (false) appearance of intelligence, creativity or sense of humor. To share something is not equal to knowing and understanding something and being able to actually apply this knowledge and understanding.
I find the quotes shared with you inspirational and use them as a reminder or focus point for self-reflection and self-improvement.
