How do some quotes or sayings become memorable to some people, or at least stored away so others can find them? Say someone is giving a speech and after those few minutes, sometimes long few minutes, a small portion is remembered.

Such as when President Ronald Reagan said "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"

If one of us kids would get hurt, my parents would say, "It will feel better when it quits hurting." I said that to my sister-in-law and both she and my mother-in-law looked at me and said, "What?"

How about quotes that can help you through the day, like Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832), "Everything is hard before it is easy."

Dr. Suess (1904-91) likes to have fun even in quotes. "You're off to great places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, so get on your way!" or how about one for a not-so-nice day, "I know it is wet and the sun is not sunny, but we can have lots of good fun that is funny."

The sun is shining above ... Think Happy Thoughts.
