Clarify! Still need quotes.

[Dee Egbert]

Thank you to all of those who sent quotes. I need to let you know that I'm
not looking for quotes ON human nature but ABOUT human nature. I guess what
I'm trying to say is about things that happen to us, make us think, wisdom.
Get it? And the quotes I'm looking for have to be short enough to cross
stitch.

Example: If you feel dog tired at night it's probably because you growled
all day.

This has been fun though!
Thanks for writing!
Dee
