...isn't today's 'wisecrack' a repeat of yesterdays? ( or am I mistaken)....has time stopped ? is this deja vue or groundhog day? Are we travelling backwards in time?

A fine quote at any rate however.

what was it?

it was a more exalted and splendid description of the 'better to live one day as a tiger than a hundred years as sheep' proverb.
I forget the author but these quotes get sent daily to websites so I would have thought you would have access to it. It was beautifully written and I don't have it verbatim and so wouldn't do it justice. I maintain it's essence however and would like to see it again.

Attention.

I percieve now of a toolbox. This toolbox is able to do things that no other toolbox can. Until ALL builders posess this same toolbox, with the same inherant advantages, nothing useful will be built.

End of Attention.
