SQL Server QOD

You are building a stored procedure for a quote generator in SQL Server 2000.
You have this stored procedure, but seem to be having trouble with quote 1, but not quote 2. What's wrong:

create procedure spQuoteGrab
@quoteid int
as
declare @quote varchar(100)
select @quote = convert( varchar, quotetext)
from
quotes
where
quoteid = @quoteid

select @quote 'quote'
return

Tuples of the table quotes

quoteid quotetext
------- --------------------
1 Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country
2 Seize the day

Answer:
The first quote is truncated because no size is specified in the CONVERT function.SQL 2000 takes the length to be 30 by default
