"The innocent are so few that two of them seldom meet—when they do meet, their victims lie strewn around."

Elizabeth Bowen

A little government and a little luck are necessary in life, but only a fool
trusts either of them.

“If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears
a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or
far away.”
David Thorean

Good one, hey your the guy that provided me with that wonderful poetry :cool: I love good poetry and good quotations.
And oh my, another controversial signature:hula:

He who learns must suffer, and, even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.

Aeschylus

"The Belly Rules The Mind" -- Spanish Proverb

"A smell of petroleum prevails throughout"

The story goes: William James describes a man who got the experience from laughing-gas; whenever he was under its influence, he knew the secret of the universe, but when he came to, he had forgotten it. At last, with immense effort, he wrote down the secret before the vision had faded. When completely recovered, he rushed to see what he had written. It was 'A smell of petroleum prevails throughout'.
