Every day I see so many amazing quotations.
I write them down - in my diary - on little pieces of paper.
They get lost and forgotten.
Now I'll be able to find them again if I do this right.
All quotations will be tagged for subject or content and for author for easy of retrieval.
Enjoy.

Invest it wisely.
