As some will know, I am away, (from home), today, and face a gruelling 4 hour journey home soon. This is a quick opportunity to use the net and post here. (Will reply to your lovely comments tomorrow, everyone~~!!)
Yesterday was dominated by spine consultants and physiotherapist's who were not naturals at agreeing, but eventually did so.
Anyway, today I listened to some great speakers and thinkers, on the subject of English language, a welcome change from medical English!
On one table I got these, to share;
"Wit is educated insolence."
- Aristotle (384-322 B.C.)"Criticism is prejudice made plausible."
- H. L. Mencken (1880-1956)"Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo."
- H. G. Wells (1866-1946)"Imitation is the sincerest form of television."
- Fred Allen (1894-1956)"Happiness is good health and a bad memory."
- Ingrid Bergman (1917-1982)"Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt."
- Mark Twain (1835-1910)"The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense."
- Tom Clancy (1947-), paraphrasing Mark Twain"Opportunities multiply as they are seized."
- Sun Tzu
