Am I the only one who, when reading a quote, reads the attribution first? I've done this my whole life! I've always felt that that information should be presented first. It lends a voice to what's being said.
UB: maybe I'll try that next time:)
The Jefferson quote is one we often forget, I'm afraid. Alas, the bad guys know that, too, and just bide their time.
Cheers.
Well chosen!

Thanks Pat....
As to Woody Allen....We have just had a WONDERFUL Documentary on him shown on our Public Television stations...It was shown in two parts....I hope you get it across the pond---It is really well done and incredibly interesting....!

Ann's grandfather (a Norfolk/Lincolnshire farmer) had a saying I always liked. It went :-
If a man cheats me it proves he's a knave. If he cheats me twice it proves I'm a fool.
Mike and Ann: you can't argue with that:)
I'd ask Oscar, If I had the losing cards, is it okay to cheat? haha. He'd have something caustic to say, I bet.
GG: I don't think he was capable of uttering a banality which must have been exhausting to live with:)
