I think these two will be added

Edited to add: I've just looked Voltaire's quote up and found what preceded it, hope you don't mind me posting it here:

Yes Sheba, I like your signature quote, some of these quotes bring a moment of thoughtfulness when things are getting heated.....
And I don't mind at all, I was hoping for members to reply and post their own quotes...

Too right Baz, I think most of these quotes apply as much today as they did back then. We might be all tech'd up in the 21st century but human behaviour hasn't really changed all that much.
