[masomenos]

The one in my signature and this, from Emerson...

To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the approbation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty; To find the best in others; To give of one's self; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - This is to have succeeded.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

To a man with a hammer, many things look like a nail.

Never underestimate the stupidity of man.
