I collect quotes, so there's no way I could pick just one. Here are a few of my favorites:
"You don't love a woman because she is beautiful. She is beautiful because you love her."
“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” --Albert Einstein
"Rings and other jewels are not gifts, but apologies for gifts. The only gift is a portion of thyself." --Ralph Waldo Emerson
"No animal should ever jump on the dining room furniture unless absolutely certain he can hold his own in conversation." --Fran Lebowitz

"Every time I see a quote from a famous person in someone's signature on a message board, I wonder if they've even thought about what it means, or if they just think it sounds cool and hope that it'll make them seem smart." – Jory
I don't know what that means, but it sounds cool. Maybe I should put it in my signature so I'll seem smart.
