FRANK's Creative Quotations is a FREE website at
http://www.shentel.net/baertracks devoted to 
carefully selected sets of quotations from over 800 famous 
people.  Each set links five quotations from a famous person 
to five basic components of creativity and success:

  1-> FORAGING, collecting information;
  2-> REFLECTING, generating lots of ideas;
  3-> ADOPTING, embracing an idea;
  4-> NURTURING, improving your idea; and
  5-> KNUCKLING DOWN, never giving up.

Biographical information about each famous person is also 
provided -- year of birth and death, day of birth, nationality,
profession, and why the person is considered famous.
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's a sampling of FRANK's Creative Quotations from 
RALPH WALDO EMERSON (1803-1882) born on May 25
U.S. philosopher, poet, essayist. He was the main spokesman of his
time for moral optimism and belief in the individual: "Self-Reliance,"
1844. 

On Foraging:
'Tis the good reader that makes the good book.

On Reflecting:
The quality of the imagination is to flow and not to freeze.

On Adopting:
The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn.

On Nurturing:
Common sense is the wick of the candle.

On Knuckling Down:
The louder he talked of his honor, the faster we counted our spoons.

FRANK's Creative Quotations is a great website for:
  => insights into the minds of famous creative people;
  => inspirational and creative browsing;
  => adding humor and insight to your conversation; 
  => connecting the seemingly unconnected; and
  => personalizing your creative potential.

There is at least one famous person for each day of the year. 
A special calendar webpage provides easy access a famous
born-on-this-day person. Searches are also possible by name 
and day of birth or by using more than 6700 keywords. And each
component of creativity is illustrated by a special graphic.

FRANK's Quotations for September 1996 (including graphics) 
can also be downloaded FREE OF CHARGE.  You can then 
browse the quotations off-line.
