                  OVERHEARD:

    You can't always judge by appearances:  
    the early bird may have been up all night.

   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.
