If I had been a more focused youth I would be a bit farther now

Wouldn't we all?

Perhaps for one activity or occupation. Now you've got an entire palette to choose from That's what makes man beautiful

Η άγνοια είναι ευδαιμονία

(Hope the translator got that right)

It's nice to see how much culture this forum has; not only sharing knowledge.
You know, there was several (147) mottos written at Delphi oracle,short but wise. They were given to the temple by the "7 wisemen" of ancient Greece.
Just to know some of them most popular (translated):
-know thyself
-nothing in excess (these 2 are the most popular; written on the left and right of the temple entrance)

-Live according to your income
-Your knowing a thing is nothing, unless another knows you know it
-However exalted our position, we should still not despise the powers of the humble
-Judge of a tree by its fruit, not by its leaves
-The success of the wicked tempts many to sin
e.c.t. e.c.t.

P.S. the translator got it perfect

Oorang:
I believe it's philosophical remarks such as this at 29 that
in fact constitutes a more focused youth.

I'm about 2 hours from you. I live in the Columbus Area. Been through Cinci a few times as I have family members in KY. Went down to the fossil beds then crossed over to Indiana to make some purchases.

Gertjan,

Good Tag!

Though the idea and basic code for windows was borrowed by MS from Apple, who was given it by Zerox's Palo Alto Research teem [along with the mouse and network] when Zerox's management thought it was useless for a company that only handled paper.


ktab,

I like them all, how true!
