Just a week ago, I was graced enough to mark yet another year that my physical being has journeyed around the sun.

“The ideas I stand for are not mine. I borrowed them from Socrates. I
swiped them from Chesterfield. I stole them from Jesus. And I put them
in a book. If you don’t like their rules whose would you use?”
