I’ll say this for Twitter: If nothing else, it’s a great place to collect quotes, if you love quotes. there seems to be a significant number of tweeple out there who use Twitter solely to tweet and retweet quotes. Since I have always loved language, the rhythm and musicality of words, I can’t resist a good quote. In some cases, though, I really enjoy the ones that just make me laugh. It requires a finely honed wit to be both humorous and economical. Not long ago I heard a famous funnyman say he would work for an hour to reduce a laugh line from twelve words to eight. That’s true wit.<\/p>\n
Here are just a few quotes I’ve run across recently: :<\/p>\n

Arrogance not only prevents you from seeing the big
\npicture, it makes you think your view is the big picture. ~Sherrin Ross Ingram<\/p>\n
“What is a committee? A group of the unwilling, picked from
\nthe unfit, to do the unnecessary.” Richard Harkness<\/p>\n
“Dogs like to ride in your car, in case the need arises for them to bark violently at nothing right in your ear.” Barry<\/p>\n
