Borg,
With all due respect, the quote for today makes no
sense to me.  How can a life spent making mistakes be
"more honorable" and "more useful" than one spent
doing nothing?  However, I know people who THINK they
are being HONORABLE while making a mess wherever they
go.  We call them political liberals:-))

I have one for your consideration that an old Boss
used on me.  It seems far more encouraging than the
non sequitur by Bernard Shaw.  It went, "The only ones
that make no mistakes are those who do nothing."
