Hey, I know you. So-Crates. I saw that movie.
Like Francine Lawrence (Gidget) said... "I agree with Plato, life's a gas man."
Now for a little seriousness:
"Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others have labored hard for."
-Socrates
Isn't it amazing how so many men of wisdom are derided during their own time? Too many think that's only today's result of social media, TV "news", and big money in politics and everything else. It's been going on for at least 2500 years. I suspect it's worse today than ever before.
