"He who seeks rest finds boredom. He who seeks work finds rest."
-Dylan Thomas, Welsh author-poet (1914-1953)
(dubious, at best , I think it was picked up because today is the anniversary of his death. He was only 39!)

Thought for today (11-10-2007)
"A nickname is the heaviest stone that the devil can throw at a man."
-William Hazlitt, British essayist (1778-1830)
Depends on the nickname, I suppose.
