Personally, my favorite thing that I've ever said is, "The things I do are well worth the faces you make."  One should be different and original, and if it makes somebody stop and think, even better.\n\nAnother good quote is from Gwendolyn Brooks's poem "Corners on the Curving Sky":\nOur earth is round, and, among other things\nThat means you and I can hold\ncompletely different\nPoints of view and both be right.\n\nIf people could just agree to disagree, the world would be a better place.
