Nov 2013

The more I read of what others have said, the more I believe that someone has said something much more eloquently than I could ever hope to. I am occasionally pleased when I notice a situation and remember a fitting quote.

Sam Adams and Alice Walker... that would be a great pair with which to have lunch.

BTW, love your sig.

There's two other quotes I like: "Now, we must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men." and "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."
