I don't know about you, but sometimes I get my 'Personal Text' from a quote somewhere. You can always find some pretty entertaining ones. ^_^ Anyway, I thought it'd be cool to see what quotes you guys could find. Maybe you found one in a book? Something funny a government official said? Just post some quotes! Comments are welcome!

Abraham Lincoln once said that, "It is better to be thought a fool, and keep one's mouth closed, than to open your mouth, and remove all doubt."
That's one of my favorites. My old gifted teacher in junior high used to quote that all the time. Not to me, of course.
