Day 3

Use daily quotations to help in improving yourself.

Collecting quotations is an insidious, even embarrassing habit, like rag-picking or hoarding rocks or trying on other people's laundry. I got into it originally while trying to break an addiction to candy. I kicked candy and now seem to be stuck with quotations, which are attacking my brain instead of my teeth. —Robert Byrne

Most anthologists of quotations are like those who eat cherries or oysters; first picking the best ones and winding up by eating everything. —Sebastian Roch Nicolas

Wise sayings often fall on barren ground, but a kind word is never thrown away. —Sir Arthur Helps

Next to the originator of a good sentence is the first quoter of it. —Ralph Waldo Emerson
