- asdfasvea 2mo agoMy favorite quote for 10 years was from my 1993 college math professor: You will never go wrong attributing a pithy quote to Benjamin Franklin or Mark Twain. And then the internet became popular.

- bookofjoe 2mo agoWhen I was in college I read: At a party, want to have people think you're really smart? If someone asks "Where's that [quote] from?" quickly respond "The Bible or Shakespeare." In English, you'll be right 50% of the time.
