"Those who never retract their opinions..."
Those who never retract their opinions love themselves more than they love
truth. -Joseph Joubert, essayist (1754-1824)


I love starting work when a quote like this comes along and gives me a nugget to ponder during the day.

From Anu Garg's A.Word.A.Day

3. Are you saying anyone who has an opinion is in love with themselves?
That certainly is not what the author of that quote said. But maybe that doesn't matter huh???

Change is not weakness, it is inevitable. Same goes for apologizing.
