How do I use this wiki thing?

How to add your own quotes (ie edit the page)
Click on the edit link in the upper right-hand corner of the page. The screen will change to one that includes a large text box. Click in the textbox. Move the cursor to where you want to add your quote and type or paste away. Click save when done. (Don't see an edit link? If you just logged into the wiki for the first time, the system doesn't know you belong to a group who can edit this page. It will periodically update the permissions, so check back later. You can add a comment now, however. See below.)

How to see what the page will look like before you save your changes
Above the textbox on the edit page screen, there are two tabs, one labeled WikiMarkup and one labeled preview. Click the preview tab. The preview will appear at the top of the page, the edit text box will appear below the preview. Be sure to save your changes after previewing.

How to add a comment about a quote (ie comment without editing the actual content)
There are five columns of links at the bottom of the page. Click on the "Add Comment" link in the "Add Content" column. The Comment textbox will appear. Type your comment, then click post.

Profound, interesting or just plain fun quotes

The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don't define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them. - Denis Watley

The cat, of course, said nothing. - Kinky Friedman in several of his books

The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity. - Dorothy Parker

I don't think necessity is the mother of invention - invention, in my opinion, arises directly from idleness, possibly also from laziness. To save oneself trouble. - Agatha Christie

It is better to look ahead and prepare than to look back and regret. - Jackie Joyner-Kersee

We have discovered that we very rarely make sense. Almost never. It begins to seem that making sense is a skill not unlike the playing of the violin. It can, of course, be done, but no one simply falls into the habit of playing the violin. Even those who can do it, do it only by deliberate design. They don't just find themselves doing it without having intended to. It requires some special focusing, some stern singleness of purpose. - The Underground Grammarian

"I am" is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that "I do" is the longest sentence? - R.I.P. George Carlin
