Again, I don't know if this has been done before.... likely?Yes! Recently? No! And actually inspired by Polo Lady on the 'Interest On The Wane' thread :P
I often use quotes in some of the training work I do and thought it might be useful to share some of them here and, vice-versa (a lot of us do this already in our signatures).
Mine as a starter for 10:
"It would be a tragedy to have climbed the ladder of success, only to find that it was leaning against the wrong wall" - Anonymous
So what quotes do you like? dunno

What I wanted to get at is the value difference between pornographic playing-cards when you're a kid, and pornographic playing-cards when you're older. It's that when you're a kid you use the cards as a substitute for a real experience, and when you're older you use real experience as a substitute for the fantasy.
Edward Albee
