Quotes of the Day

Sunday, September 7th, 2008

I noticed that for some reason September 7 has been a typical ‘Quote’ day for me over the last years…I started this blog in 2005 and have posted a QOTD every year on this specific date. Today is a day to break with traditions! πŸ˜‰

Looking back it’s a nice collection though:

In 2006: Audrey Giorgi: “Once in a while you have to take a break and visit yourself.”

In 2007: Charles F. Kettering: “Our imagination is the only limit to what we can hope to have in the future.”
