The one we felt was the most unique, interesting and helpful was this one from Alison:

I follow this Doctor’s advice:

“It has often been said
there’s so much to be read,
you never can cram
all those words in your head.

So the writer who breeds
more words than he needs
is making a chore
for the reader who reads.

That’s why my belief is
the briefer the brief is,
the greater the sigh
of the reader’s relief is.”
- Dr. Seuss

Congratulations, Alison! At least we got half of it correct this morning! :)
