I remember we used to have a thread about quotes. I couldn't find it, so I'm starting a new one.

Here's a quote:

Talking about this in terms of “bad news” or “bad judgment by business leaders” seems archaic. It’s like describing World War One as “a serious diplomatic concern.”

What is the meaning of this? Is it like "Farmers didn't invent tractors, therefore, Farmers also depend on others to help them farm and thus human society is inter-connected?"

Wait! I have another one! I don't know who said this, (or the post above either....) But this is my favorite quote and I learned its truth the hard way....

Take this to heart all, I could save you a lot of heartache.

"Who said it could not be done? And what great victories has he to his credit which qualify him to judge others accurately?" - Napoleon Hill in his Law of Success book. The book actually opens with that quote and every few pages there is another great quote like that on the side.

lilbit11570 is on a distinguished road
Default Here are some of my favs

Honesty is a function of character, and character is not something that is easily changed..

I know I'm in my own little world, but it's ok. They know me here.

A truly open mind will seriously consider all points of view, even those with which it strongly disagrees for there may be a grain of truth in even the most ridiculous of opinions.

I read, I interpret, I think, I criticize, I oppose, I listen, I write, I question, I reply, I quote, I tell, I name, I discuss, I interpolate.., I learn, I teach, I live, therefore I am.

AND THE FUNNIEST ONE...
You have one advantage over me I must admit, you can kiss my A$$ and i cant... LOL..
