Default What is your favorite quote? And why?

There is no expedient to which a man will not go to avoid the labor of thinking. Sir Joshua Reynolds

Edison liked the quote and posted it around his factory. When I was little my parents took us to Menlo Park. Maybe it was West Orange. I am not sure. I know it was a museum that celebrated the life and inventions of Edison. My Dad bought the quote printed on a piece of cardboard and he posted it in our basement. I must have read it a hundred times, maybe a thousand before it sunk in. The quote has served me well.
