Good Quotes

I picked up a book off our shelf a week ago called Book of Great Thoughts and Funny Sayings. It is organized alphabetically by category. While perusing it, some quotes stood out to me - made me think, smile, or laugh! I brought it to school to use, and since there are so many good ones, I told my students they get quadruple their $$...I'm doing FOUR quotes of the day for my students between now and the end of the year! Hope you enjoy as I did:
