QUOTES
Few people think more than two or three times a
year; I have made an international reputation for myself by thinking once or
twice a week.
George Bernard Shaw
If all the rich people in the
world divided up their money among themselves there wouldn't be enough to go
around.
Christina Stead (1903 - 1983), House of All Nations (1938)
"Credo"
My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net
income.
Errol Flynn (1909 - 1959)
Two things are infinite: the
universe and human stupidity: and I am not sure about the universe.
Albert
Einstein
Orlando
