I find quotations valuable because they can encapsulate wisdom.

Life’s challenge is to DO as well as we KNOW; in the critical moment of decision to recall and apply the relevant insight, the necessary acumen that leads to the best possible outcome.

A good quotation triggers a whole body of thought and understanding, fosters clear thinking, enables us to be our best.

Quotations are knowledge summarized. Properly used, they are excellent stepping stones to good judgment. Quotations also make excellent affirmations and guides, reminding us of our goals and commitment to grow toward our fullest potential.
