Please respect that these are Great Books sites, and we prefer posts along the following

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I\'m not
sure about the the universe. --Albert Einstein
XCVI
Some say thy fault is youth, some wantonness;
Some say thy grace is youth and gentle sport;
Both grace and faults are lov\'d of more and less:
Thou mak\'st faults graces that to thee resort.
As on the finger of a throned queen
The basest jewel will be well esteem\'d,
So are those errors that in thee are seen
To truths translated, and for true things deem\'d.
How many lambs might the stern wolf betray,
If like a lamb he could his looks translate!
How many gazers mightst thou lead away,
if thou wouldst use the strength of all thy state!
But do not so; I love thee in such sort,
As, thou being mine, mine is thy good report.
--William Shakespeare
When we build, let us think that we build forever. -John Ruskin, The Seven Lamps of Architecture, 1849
Recession is when a neighbor loses his job. Depression is when you lose
yours.
Ronald Reagan
