"I quote thee to make myself look..."

Philosophical Engineering

We all want our voice heard. Especially more than ever with online presence where our pixels get shared with anyone who has access to internet around the world. And yet we often list quotes that have all but become more than cliche, but annoying. We get it. We all want to think like Einstein and Zig Ziglar. And whether you justify your quotes like the writings on the wall to motivate you or to simply share the words of the wise, my question is really in the curiosity of how the quote was applied.

That when we all read these quotes, what do we do with them? How did it shape one's thinking or behaviors? I would personally rather see more posts like that.
