Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

How about "Money Down The Drain"?
Or "Expensive Useless Trinket".
Or "Unwise Purchase I Couldn't Really Afford".
Here's a catchy one.... "Bad Decision".
Bet you could have gotten close to the same thing for a fraction of the price at Cutlery Corner

Anyway, I'll make it a point to bring this up if I ever see you bitching about how the main reason why 'Muricans have to struggle to make ends meet is because of that danged ol' lib'rul gub'mint and them danged ol' taxes.
