They’re even more annoying when attached to personal emails. I’ve seen personal email signatures with made-up titles, homages to alma maters, tributes to sports teams and, inevitably, quotes.

Here are a few interesting, off-the-wall and thought-provoking quotes to consider for your email signature.
