Just now I received quotes from a friend..read a lunch. They seem interesting for the times. I prefer lovelier lines... It has been awhile since I have visited and chimed so I thought I would. {I TrackBacked}

I recently read that Benjamin Franklin quote on the side of a menu when I went to the Capital City Brewery Co. in Downtown Washington, DC. I love it!

I guess he was telling me its okay to take a risk....he's always right.....I'm glad I listen.

...Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much... the wheel, New York, wars, and so on, whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely the dolphins believed themselves to be more intelligent than man for precisely the same reasons.
