Good morning guys.
It was a beautiful weekend in Central Pa and a time to do a lot of late fall gardening to clean up the yard before winter. I filled 10 large bags and was still not finished. Man, your hands can get sore from pulling weeds and dead plants.
Today I thought a few quotes from an array of people from philosophers to literary greats might be in order. Their words, while written sometimes hundreds, even thousands of years ago, still hold meaning for us today. The next time you encounter one of those unbearable showoffs at the gym, just remember your Aesop. Enjoy.

no logan, that'd be "with great power comes great responsibility." almost, but not quite the same.
