WHERE CREDIT IS DUE


"Originality is the fine art of remembering what you hear but forgetting where you heard it."

Laurence J. Peter 
20th century Canadian teacher/writer

It really is difficult to think and act originally, the beliefs of most every new generation notwithstanding.

But it should be easy to recognize the contributions of all those who precede us.

For better and worse we are what they have helped us become.

(With thanks to Buzzle.com for the graphic. Where they got it from I can't say.)
