Quotes that resonate with your life can be found in the strangest places, not always from the leaders of countries and business. From the man (or woman) on the street, to the founding father or captain of industry and, of course, in movies and music.
The moment comes and the words that are spoken fit the situation, your situation or my situation so well that they must be remembered.
And though moments are fleeting, often they are repeated, and an apprpriate quote can give the comfort or inspiration that somebody, somewhere, sometime experienced this. I am not alone.
Just my 2 cents,
Tom.
