As much as I appreciate David Grand’s quotations, I actually read his columns.
I read all the Eagle columnists. I may be biased, but we have the best columnists…
To sit and have a cup of coffee and read a David Grand column is a wonderful way to start my day.
But this column – full of quotations - is priceless. Thanks.

I tend to quote others only to better express myself
The Passing Parade By David Grand, Posted on www.explorecarroll.com 1/14/09
I'm fully aware that many of my readers skip over what I've written in my columns and only take time to read the quotations at the end.
That's fine. I get paid the same regardless.
So to show my appreciation to those who at least read those quotations, I've decided to forego writing on a specific topic this week and share some of my favorites, drawn from the columns I've written over the last 16 years. I'd like to think you'll find them as humorous or thought provoking as I did.
Here are my top 21 gems in no particular order:
* "All modern men are descended from a worm-like creature, but it shows more on some people." – Will Cuppy
* "The more I see of the representatives of the people, the more I admire my dogs." – Anonymous
* "When money talks, the truth is silent." – Russian proverb
* "There are three kinds of men: the ones who learn by reading; those who learn by observation; and the rest of 'em who have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves." – Will Rogers
