After a few months on Emma now I’ve noticed the quotes cupboard for the bottom of the feed seems a little bare. I know lockdowns are in place around the world (that comment is going to date), but I’m sure Old Mother Hubbard can justify a trip to the shops to stock up.

Here’s a topic to add famous quotes for the developers consideration and/or all of our amusement.

Keep it clean and appropriate out there!

This one, from Friends, reminded me of @rebekah’s [If you found a suitcase with](https://community.emma-app.com/t/if-you-found-a-suitcase-with/2765) dilemma thread -

Phoebe: “There’s five hundred extra dollars in my account.”  
Chandler: “Oh! Satan’s minions at work again.”  
Phoebe: “Yes, coz I have to go down there and deal with them.”  
Joey: “What are you talking about? Keep it!”  
Phoebe: “It’s not mine! I didn’t earn it. If I kept it, it would be like stealing!”  
Rachel: “Yeah, but if you spent it, it would be like shopping!”

🤣

Well, I’m definitely not a _Joey_ 🤣

Hope I’m not a _Ross_ - though same luck with marriages 🤣

I’ll go with _Chandler_ - Though not as funny imo

Oh, and sometimes I can be a _Phoebe_ 🤣

I’m enjoying using this app, but There is one thing that irritates me when I log on.  
The sayings and quotes are all from white middle aged men and not particularly men I admire. How about some inspirational quotes from a diverse range of people.

Hey @Ekells1

There’s lots of inspirational quotes about money, from literature, history and more recently from world commenters in this global pandemic. I just think the quotes should be from a more diverse pool of people not the standard , Branson, Jobs etc. I personally would like to see something more interesting, uplifting and encouraging.
