English Proverb Age is strictly a case of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter. - Jack Benny Every human being on this earth is born with a tragedy, and it isn't original sin.

I prefer this story on the same topic:
On his first day at Harvard a young man from Arkansas approached a couple of seniors. 'Hey, y'all, where's the library at?' One replied haughtily, 'At Harvard, we prefer not to end a sentence with a preposition.' The young man thought for a moment, and said, 'Alright. Where's the library at, asshole?'
