A quote from my favorite homesteader

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread

"If a man fails to keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music he hears, however measured or far away." Henry David Thoreau

The best way to eat crow is warm. The safest way of doubling your money is folding it once and putting it back in your pocket. A man of words and not of deeds is like a garden full of weeds.

My favorite is "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" The government's is "If it ain't broke, fix it until it is!" As concerns the "different drummer", I can agree, but I have known a few individuals who had a drummer with a broken stick. Don't get too different. GL!
