A little nonsense, now and then, is relished by the wisest men. - anonymous

Great minds think alike but fools seldom differ. - don't know the source. I heard this many years ago from a teacher.
"Think great thoughts, you will never be greater than you think." (?)
He who inherits a penny is expected to spend a dollar. - (?)
When it comes to inheritance, you can really find out the TRUE nature of family members. :?
I am sorry to hear that Vex. :sad2:
On behalf of my dad and his sisters, I did too.
That is a pretty low level of conscience. Greed, selfishness, disrespect.
I would rather give any inheritance up to the god of fire before I would see it go to these greedy SOBs! :mad:

Oops.
Well, I had to dig that one up after a little "Come to Jesus" meeting about one of the businesses I'm involved with. We are facing a new and very dangerous threat, which I've been aware of and trying to construct strategies to deal with for many years. Just two weeks ago, the truth of the situation was revealed... and all of my "worrying and paranoia" has suddenly been changed into prescience.
Of course we're now about three YEARS behind where we could have been in dealing with it, which is going to make it a lot more interesting and intense.
To get back around to that quote though, I was explaining that the analogy to all of this is a game of chess. We have a strict framework of rules which must not be broken, but whoever learns to be the most creative within that framework is going to be the winner.
I came back from that meeting and needed to find that quote.
So there you go.
