My favorite quote is from Muhatma Gandhi: "You can judge the progress of a society by how well they treat their animals."

I agree with all the gushing about Vonegut. Slaughterhouse 5 is my favorite book. Not from Slaughterhouse 5 (but I think actually used in two of his books): "Here is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college."

Finally, one of my favorites is from Emerson: "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines."

Einstein also has a ton of great statements, but I can't find my folder where I keep my favorite quotations.
