Quotation of the Day for June 21, 2012"Two warnings may be given. Never make a trivial note, never in other words aid the memory to remember something that it ought never to forget or never to require to remember.... The other warning, and quite as needful a warning, is this. Never make a note for future use in such a form that no one but yourself can understand it, and that even you yourself will not know what it means, when you come upon it some months later. This seems a trivial warning, one that no one, not the most foolish, could disobey. Yet such notes are made..." - Charles George Crump, from History and Historical Research (1928).
