Quote of the Day List ====================== It is actually 3 quotes a day, unless there are extra related quotes, then sometimes it is more than 3 a day. These aren't taglines, and preferably I'd like sources on where the quote was uttered, and you can get yourself credit for submitting it to me :) Quotes (to the best of my ability) will not be duplicated, and this is one of my older lists, been running it since sometime in 1995/1996? Email me to get on the list, or to get off the list. Reminders of administrivia are sent near/on the 1st of every month.

Wolfensohn, World Bank's president The time to pray is not when we are in a tight spot but just as soon as we get out of it. -- Josh Billings (1818-1885), American humorist
