Re: Quote of the week thread.

From the Willie Nelson song "Gotta Get Drunk"
There's a lot of doctor's tell me that I'd better start slowing it down, but there's more old drunks than there are old doctor's so I guess we'd better have another round.

I read a great one by Arthur Conan Doyle that someone picked up on:

"Talent immediately recognises genius, but mediocrity knows nothing more than itself"

Re: Quote of the week thread.

It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do. To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.

I got an e-mail about some sayings copied down from an old farmer known to the author of the e-mail.  That's probably not true, but that's what the e-mail said.  It's probably been around the world 400 times by now, but still I liked the sayings and thought they fit in here, so here goes.  One of my rare 'cut and pastes'.
