Have always loved this one and was just reminded of it.

Thanks for this contest. It reminded me of the two things my dad used to tell me as a child.

1. Knowledge is the one thing that no one can ever take away from you. Seek it out.
2. The only people who swear are people that are not intelligent enough to express themselves properly.

Thanks so much for the contest!

"The only way out... is through."

 

[amoret]

Thanks for the contest.

It turned out that I'd been misquoting and misattributing my favorite quote. I thought it was:

"If you've enough for a loaf of bread
buy half a loaf instead
And with the dole
Buy hyacinths to feed your soul"

And, I thought it was from the The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám

However, in trying to be exact I found out that it is really:

“If, of thy mortal goods, thou art bereft,
And from thy slender store two loaves
alone to thee are left,
Sell one & from the dole,
Buy Hyacinths to feed the soul”

– Muslihuddin Sadi,
13th Century Persian Poet

And I still prefer the version I thought it was, but now that I've proved myself wrong I'll always have to do a mental "but" when I think of it. Though part of it may be a poetry translation issue - I know that the more accurate translations of the Rubáiyát aren't necessarily the ones I prefer.

In some ways life was simpler without the internet for instant research.

If you can't be a good influence, you'll just have to be held up as a horrid example.
