    One of my favorite quotes was from my ex partner:

    I want a man who loves me for who I am, despite who I am.

    Quote From Upton Sinclair

    A quote from Upton Sinclair. "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!" This is why the majority of the press and not just the economic subsection of the press will not print anything worth reading.

    Soccer is 90 minutes of pretending that you're hurt. Rugby is 80 minutes of pretending that you're not.

    As the great football player Jim Brown used to say after biting a players finger so badly it was later amputated, everything outside the face mask, he can have, everything inside the face mask is mine!

    Interesting quote. Amazon a very large internet seller in the US. It buys out employees to the tune of $5,000 if they evaluate them to be not a good employee after a short period of employment. Their fear is that the longer a bad employee stays the more damage to the company. Their thoughts are the it only takes a few bad employees to bring a company down. So it looks like it took 25 years to get this quote to be acted on monetarily.
