It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.  ~Albert Einstein

Keep on going, and the chances are that you will stumble on something, perhaps when you are least expecting it.  I never heard of anyone ever stumbling on something sitting down.  ~Charles F. Kettering


A professional writer is an amateur who didn't quit. ~ Richard Bach 

I'm quitting the business today. I'm going to open up an appliance store, I've always really been into toasters. ~ Dane Cook

  6. I don't quit anything. I just indefinitely postpone its continuation.

    That's not a quote. That's just me messing with words. This, on the other hand, is a quote: "Ow! Quit it. Ow! Quit it." - Bart Simpson

  14. I love them all as well. I guess Einstein and I are sort of alike (ha), I'm that that smart, but I sure do seem to stay with problems for a long time. I am a new follower from the contest.
