Recent fave: Lauren Upton (Ms. South Carolina) (in response to a question asking why she thinks 1/5th of Americans can't find their own country on a map): "I personally believe that US Americans are unable to do so, because uh some people out there in our nation don't have Maps and I believe our education like such as in South Africa and the Iraq everywhere.. like such as. And I believe that they should uh; our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S. ah, or should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future for our children." Youtube it.

Thanks for stopping by my blog and my Thursday 13. I love your quotes, too. I think I'm going to use #9 with the middle school students I see in my office. And, yes, we do have a lot in common. Great blog of your own! I hope that you don't mind that I bookmarked you on my blog.
Bill - very nice. I think you need to do a list of your favorites too.
Mone - very similar to one that I should have put on my list: Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted.
Jiggs - but they can be quite soothing.
Spinning - he's always so right on target.
