Quote of the day

JULY 21 2010 But those who came before us will teach us. They will teach you from the wisdom of former generations.

Tuesday 20 Apr 2010 People who don't cherish their elderly have forgotten whence they came and wither they go.
Sunday 11Apr 2010 It's one of natures way that we feel closer to distant generations than to the generation immediately preceding us.

Saturday 3 Apr 2010 We all grow up with the weight if history on us. Our ancestors dwell in the attics of our brains as they do in the spiraling chains of knowledge hidden in every cell of our bodies.
