' Wrote:George Orwell, in "Politics and the English Language," observed that
"The slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts... to think clearly is a necessary first step toward political regeneration... the fight against bad English is not frivolous and is not the exclusive concern of professional writers."
George Orwell implies that Grammar Nazi's support Civilization.
OR...Orwell just doesn't like the American bastardization of the English language?
"Quoting intelligent people and using their words as your own doesnt mean youre intelligent. Your intelligence isnt measured by your knowledge. Dont confuse the two. Id say your intelligence could be measured by how you adapt, learn and use your initiative"
Tell me who said that:P

My pops - "Do what ever you want, just don't get caught"
Horace Walpole - "Life is a tragedy for those who feel, but a comedy to those who think."<---- my senior quote

"Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny."-i don't know who said it.
For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.

Well, you just did. I don't know honestly.
But I do know this:
Knowledge is power, wisdom is how you use that power.
Knowledge is many things.
Wisdom is knowing what's important.
Not a quote, just my opinion.
