Quotation of the Day for February 16, 2018 "I look at things in a very probabilistic way. You're not going to be guaranteed anything, but if you can go from a 70% chance to a 73% chance, I'll probably take that. If I can get up to 73%, maybe there's something that can get me to a 75% chance. You're working the margins. If you ever took Econ, the margins are where everything happens." - Daniel Pink, author of When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, in a GQ interview.

Quotation of the Day for February 2, 2018 "Hence you see why "liberal studies" are so called; it is because they are studies worthy of a free-born gentleman. But there is only one really liberal study, - that which gives a man his liberty. It is the study of wisdom, and that is lofty, brave, and great-souled. All other studies are puny and puerile." - Seneca, Moral letters to Lucilius, from Letter 88. Submitted by: Mike Krawchuk Feb. 1, 2018
