Fortune Quote #1938
Any great truth can--and eventually will--be expressed as a cliche--a
cliche is a sure and certain way to dilute an idea. For instance, my
grandmother used to say, "The black cat is always the last one off the
fence." I have no idea what she meant, but at one time, it was undoubtedly
true. -- Solomon Short

Fortune Quote #1932
All that is gold does not glitter Not all those who wander are lost
The old that is strong does not wither Deep roots are not reached by the
frost From the ashes a flame shall be woken A light from the shadows
shall spring Renewed shall be blade that was broken The crownless again
shall be king
