RHJunior, Man Who Needs to Get a Life · posted 2003 by Brew Murray
Don't get me wrong; RHJunior has contributed a certain few worth-while quotes, of which surpass mine. But the fact remains that he seems to contribute twenty or so quotes every other day. I suggest he get a life. He needs one badly.

quite contrary to this view, i believe that an excuse is the mark of an individual who wants to keep within the confines of morality by presenting themself as such.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am trying to find a quote of Aristotelis in Ancient Greek and thought you might be able to help me. 'Those that teach children well are more to be honoured than parents, for these gave only life and those the art of living well'. Hope you might know or you can advise me as to how to find it.
Thanking you in advance

Vidal Is right · posted 2002 by Gore Vidal
Vidal stated in his latest letter that country's have withing their means a way of protecting themselves that should not lead to war. He cited that Italy places a bounty for the arrest or death of Mafia members instead of bombing Italian towns where the Mafia reside. I feel Vidal is right in this account. My only other opinion would be that we should round up the Muslim Facsists in America and send them back to their disgusting little countries. If we do this we do not need a bounty or a bomb, just a plane and handcuffs! Ken

I've got to wonder about the quotes attributed to Hitler. Did he say nothing of any value? I understand that he was a thoroughly bad person, but I had to wonder if there was anything of value in the volume of written words and speeches he delvered s a public figure. Did h have NO redeeming qualities?

Im having some trouble interpreting an aphorism from Poor Richard's Almanac, by Benjamin Franklin. It reads as follows, "What maintains one vice, brings up two children." Any explanation would be helpful, I'm absolutly stumped.
