In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is.”
Yogi Berra
When you arise in the morning, think of what a privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love. Marcus Aurelius (121-180)
Another flaw in the human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance.
