Like the word association game, except instead of posting the word that reminds you of the last, you post the saying or the quote that reminds you of the last.
For quotes, when you can cite them please do so. Of course, there are those that are unknown or obscure and its ok if you cant cite then. Common sayings like "Dont count your chickens before they hatch" dont need to be cited either.
To be or not to be - William Shakespeare
I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
"To be is to do" Socrates (maybe)
"...if you weren't smart enough to get a pedophile in a dress to put a small amount of water on the child’s forehead, then what the eff did you think was going to happen?
"It is not fair to ask of others what you are not willing to do yourself."
-Eleanor Roosevelt

Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...

Has not a friend to spare,
While he who has one enemy
Shall meet him everywhere."
