Collecting good PR quotes
My friend Laurel, a communicator up in Tacoma, Washington, sent me this note a couple of minutes ago.
'Steve—we just got some new, giganto computer monitors in our deptartment, so I had to clear off all my clippings & post-its from the old monitor. I ran across three PR quotes that you might like.'
Here they are:
"What is it you call yourself—public relations? Well it sounds like something pretty dirty to me!" Bette Davis in Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte

My dad always said--and it's come in handy in my life whenever I'm in an argument I can't win: "Never wrestle a pig. You both get muddy and the pig likes it."

Not a direct communications quote, but the Douglas Adams mantra "Don't Panic" has served me well as a first step in most communication planning meetings, etc.
