Have you ever listened to a speaker and they say something that you want to make note of and use later? More than likely, you will write it down and then file it away, never to be uttered again. The saying could be motivational or it can be something that changes your attitude about your work. If you can capture some of these sayings, you could refer to them often. You can then share these with clients and use them for promoting your business. If you look on the web, you will find that some printers have a series of motivational sayings placed on business cards and all you need to do is add your personal information to the back of the card.
If you are the one giving the speech and you use sayings that will capture the audience's imagination, then you should think about having these printed in the form of a business card. You may find that you will have a "set" of these sayings that you can sell or use as giveaways. Take a look around you and see what sayings belong to you, do not infringe on anyone's copyright or you may find yourself employing a lawyer.
Quotes can be used from other people providing you get permission and give them a byline. Just make sure what you print is perfectly legal.
