Quote of the Day
To live in the presence of great truths and eternal laws, to be led by permanent ideals - that is what keeps a man patient when the world ignores him, and calm and unspoiled when the world praises him.
- Honore De Balzac

Oh, and, by the way - PERMANENT IDEALS are all about CONSISTENCY - not stagnation! Something you would not know about, of course, Paulie... LOL
