Quotes

The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves. Will Rogers ************************* No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man. Heraclitus *************************** There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will. Epictetus ************************** They say that patriotism is the last refuge To which a scoundrel clings Steal a little and they throw you in jail Steal a lot and they make you king. - Sweetheart like you - Bob Dylan
