In a shallow effort to make myself seem more intelligent than I actually am I recently purchased a copy of ‘Geary’s Guide to the World’s Great Aphorists‘, a collection of quotes from some of history’s great minds. My plan is to learn some and utter them sagely from time to time while looking thoughtful. Foolproof. Anyway, it turns out that there is a quote for just about anything.

Enjoy the news, and have a great weekend.
