It is no surprise that I like quotes (have you not noticed the dark blue random quote on the upper left corner of my blog?). Although one cannot build a life philosophy based on quotes, I love the power quotes have. Because I love playing with words and playing with ideas, the quote is the ultimate toy:
Quotes are wisdom encapsulated in a single sentence.
How beautiful is that? That is why on my Google homepage I have displayed the Quotes of the Day. And yesterday there was one I found incredibly smart, a nice play of words and true to the bone. Enjoy:
He who praises you for what you lack wishes to take from you what you have.
Don Juan Manuel (1282 - 1349)
