The road to success is always under construction. (Lily Tomlin) I try to take one day at a time,  but sometimes several days attack me at once. (Ashleigh Brilliant)    Intellectuals solve problems; geniuses prevent them.   (Albert Einstein)               A mind, once expanded by a new idea,               never returns to its original dimensions.                            (Oliver Wendell Holmes) Knowledge is free,  but you have to bring your own container. (author unknown) The loser tries to change the wind;  the winner changes the sail.
