This page includes all of the quotes that can appear in the quotes widget. They are organized by author.
They come in all kinds: funny, thought provoking, political, spiritual, and more. They are from theologians, authors, politicians, pundits, saints, popes, friends, family, and . . . me. Most of them say things that I agree with, but some I just found to be interesting or thought provoking.
I have attempted to verify the original author of each quote and, when possible, I provided some kind of sourcing . . . a book or document title, an event description, or a date. Please report any errors (or submit new quotes you think I might like) using the contact page.
