Eighty percent of success is showing up- Woody Allen

I love a good quote. I instantly become mesmerized and start thinking about the author of the quote and how that quote relates to their lives. Then I start thinking about the sender of the quote and wonder how these words fit them. So if you have a favorite quote you would like to share, feel free to post them here. I'll start off with this one:

"For every complex problem, there is a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong. "
--H. L. Mencken
