A quote says a lot about a person ... or does it? I recently asked some of my colleagues for their favourite quotes. The answers were quite revealing, and range from Winnie-the-Pooh wisdom and deep thoughts by Rumi the poet, to daydreaming about a perfect world where chickens can cross the road without having their motives questioned.

In addition, Quathar also loves the wisdom of Dr Seuss ...
