CXLV



Those lips that Love\'s own hand did make,

Breathed forth the sound that said \'I hate\',

To me that languish\'d for her sake:

But when she saw my woeful state,

Straight in her heart did mercy come,

Chiding that tongue that ever sweet

Was us\'d in giving gentle doom;

And taught it thus anew to greet;

\'I hate\' she alter\'d with an end,

That followed it as gentle day,

Doth follow night, who like a fiend

From heaven to hell is flown away.

  \'I hate\', from hate away she threw,

  And sav\'d my life, saying \'not you\'.

 	--William Shakespeare

Surround yourself with the best people you can find, delegate authority,
and don\'t interfere as long as the policy you\'ve decided upon is being
carried out.
Ronald Reagan

This woman\'s work is exceptional. Too bad she\'s not a man.
