RE: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] Thought for Today

["Spurling, Shannon" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

That's quite good, but not as good as this thought for the day:

When you are a Bear of Very Little Brain, and you Think of Things, you
find sometimes that a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside you is
quite different when it gets out into the open and has other people
looking at it.
A. A. Milne

Which leads to this....

No doubt Jack the Ripper excused himself on the grounds that it was
human nature.
A. A. Milne

But, we must always remember...

Did you ever stop to think, and forget to start again?
A. A. Milne

If one is to be called a liar, one may as well make an effort to deserve
the name.
A. A. Milne

And....

My spelling is Wobbly. It's good spelling but it Wobbles, and the
letters get in the wrong places.
A. A. Milne


That last one is one of my favorites, for reasons that would be obvious
if I did not have spell check.
:-)
I love A.A. Milne quotes. He was very clever.

Subject: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] Thought for Today

This was the Assciated Press "Thought for Today" yesterday:

"The third-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the
majority. 
The second-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the
minority. 
The first-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking."
-- A.A. Milne (1882-1956).


I wish we were all first-rate minds in this country but I know there are

plenty of the other two types.  To be more specific, I think most people

agree with their friends.  That puts them into the second- and
third-rate 
categories all the time.  It's easy to see why it happens because it is
so 
hard to keep up with all the information that's needed to form a solid 
opinion.  It would be best if people could withhold judgment until they 
were sure of what to do, but that's just not what people do.
