    That's a nice one, ElizabethSewall ! It reminds me a bit of

    Why should we faint, and fear to live alone,
    Since all alone, so Heaven has will'd, we die ?
    A bit sad, though. Can't remember who said it...

    He that hath understanding in himself is best;
    He that lays up his brother's wisdom in his breast is good.
    But he that neither knoweth, nor will be taught by the instruction of the wise -this man is naught

    "When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before." -- Jacob August Riis

    Hello, inDeniaL, welcome to the forum.
    Though I could have mistaken in my memory from previous philosophy classes, I think Heraclitus wrote the quote you posted.

    Then when you get the money, you get the power.
    Then when you get the power, then you get the women.
