Quote for Today - February 10,  2011


"Things printed can never be stopped: they are like babies baptized, they have a soul from that moment, and go on forever."

George Meredith [1828-1909]


Or as the ancient Romans put it, "Verba volant, scripta manant." In English, "Words spoken, fly away; words written, remain." Attributed at times to Titus Caius Silius Italicus [25-102] - Roman poet and politician. Oooooops! What about spoken words that are caught on tape?
