Another great quote and piece of sound advice. Don't know where you are finding these great quotes -- other than your amazing memory -- but I am so enjoying them!
Many thanks! I'm getting them from a lot of sources -- quote books, the Internet, films (such as the Billy Wilder classic "One Two Three"), and the inevitabel Bartlett's. I do try to verify from reputable sources, though, that a particular quote was said or written by that particular person.
I'm a librarian (no, NOT a "cybrarian" or "information scientist" or any of the other trendy terms the profession has come up with), as well as a freelance writer/researcher; my political leanings are contrarian, much to the dismay of friends on the left and right, and so I will give anyone looking for my vote exactly what they deserve -- the back of my hand

Dear Anne,
Many thanks! I'm getting them from a lot of sources -- quote books, the Internet, films (such as the Billy Wilder classic "One Two Three"), and the inevitabel Bartlett's. I do try to verify from reputable sources, though, that a particular quote was said or written by that particular person.
