I like quotes... some times quotes have a way in influencing the way you behave.
Additional Details
My original plan was to do one every 3 days (so that people who have only M-W-F classes or Tu-Thrs classes could have a chance to see every quote) I quickly found it hard to generate that many quotes. Consequently, I switched the changing of the quote to once a week... usually starting off the week with a new quote and removing it on Friday.
Sometimes it's good to get the vibe of the building so you can correlate your quote with that vibe instead of having a general one. (i.e. a lot of people are stressing about a paper due next week... then put up a quote geared towards getting work done because it is specific to the vibe)

Another tip:
Before I used notecards (both sides) to write my quotes on; however, it is more eco-friendly to use the flyers you post as the paper you put quotes on (use the backside). You can also cut the flyers up in to two or more pieces so it lasts longer.
Go environment. ;]

Some of my favorite quotes so far have been:
The start of the year - "Make it a great year or not, the choice is yours"
Coming back from winter break - It's a new year, new quarter, become what you want to be... "Some people see things as they are, and ask why? Others dream of things that never were and ask,'Why not?' " - (one of the Kennedy's)
For finals -
"Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice. Destiny is not something to be waited for; it is something to be achieved" - William Jennings Bryan
