I get excited when I come across interesting websites online. This one in particular contains quotations by famous scholars and authors. Just wanted to share it you all. The subjects ranges from health and food to forgiveness and hate. I cracked up with those from Jay Leno, whom I think is just a brilliant guy and a damn good talk show host. Enjoy.
