I don't include all of my credentials nor do I include an inspirational saying though I'm always tempted to add a sardonic one.
Among my peers, we always laughed at the insecurity signaled by the old-school equivalent, people whose offices were plastered with all their diplomas and awards. However, an article this week on what telehealth patients like to see was interesting (https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2818730). Apparently telehealth patients prefer seeing diplomas over a blank wall and a blank wall over a view of your kitchen.
Perhaps signature blocks should be customized to one's audience.

I no longer list them but earlier in my career I felt it was important to list these. I worked in a health system that overly emphasized the need to show any and all credentials both earned and purchased.
