Q is for Quotes

I love the English Language and I have a habbit of searching for good quotes from wise people, books, church articles etc. Sophomore year in High School I had a humanities class that exposed us to many beautiful things and one of them was a daily quote. Many of the following are from that class. I love finding a good quote. So here are a few quotes I love!
