SOME WORDS FROM HENRY DAVID THOREAU...1817-1862

WHAT IS TIME BUT THE STUFF DELAY IS MADE OF?

PRETTY MUCH ALL THE HONEST TRUTH TELLING THAT IS DONE IN THE WORLD IS DONE BY CHILDREN.

THE WISEST MAN PREACHES NO DOCTRINES; HE HAS NO SCHEME; HE SEES NO RAFTER, NOT EVEN A COBWEB, AGAINST THE HEAVENS. IT IS CLEAR SKY.

THE FRONTIERS ARE NOT EAST OR WEST,NORTH OR SOUTH;BUT WHERE A MAN FRONTS A FACT.

Some thought from:OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES


APOLOGY IS ONLY EGOTISM WRONG SIDE OUT.

A HERO IS IS NO BRAVER THAN AN ORDINARY MAN, BUT HE IS BRAVER FIVE MINUTES LONGER.

CONVERSATION IS AN ART IN WHICH A MAN HAS ALL MANKIND FOR HIS COMPETOR.

CONCEIT IS JUST AS NATURAL A THING TO HUBAN MINDS AS A CENTRE IS TO A CIRCLE.

IDENTIFICATION WITH A LOCALITY IS A SURER PASSPORT TO IMMORTALITY THAN COSMOPOLITANISM IS.

Hay Spart, here's the orginal story.
The Lone Ranger and Tonto are being chased by several tribes of angry indians. They ride up to the top of a high hill and look around. The Lone Ranger looks at Tonto and sayes, "Indians to the right ,Indians to the left, Indians in front and indians in the rear, what shall we do Tonto? Tonto looks at the Lone Ranger and sayes,"WHAT DO YOU MEAN ,WE, WHITE MAN?"

You got it right . I'm underwhelmed with the 'Infallable Spartacus' making a mistake like that .

I was quoting Tonto, and I did get him right

I don't know if it's historical and I don't know who originally said it or even where i first heard it but it has proven itself true to me time and time again...
