We are rolling up quickly on 800,000 posts
This time, instead of just giving it to whomever posts the 800,000th post, I'm taking the names of those who posted in that 24 hour period, putting them in a randomizer, then the name that pops up will get one $80 gift certificate to amazon.com (or another site if they prefer so long as they sell e-mail delivered gift certificates.)...
Get ready, I think it may be tomorrow.
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.
- -- Aristotle
