Pythagoras, Locke, Socrates -- but pages might be filled up, as vainly as

was deemed a bore! The loftiest minds outrun their tardy ages.
Lord Byron 1788-1824, British Poet

you're alive, you got to flap your arms and legs, you got to jump around a
lot, you got to make a lot of noise, because life is the very opposite of
death. And therefore, as I see it, if you're quiet, you're not living. You've
got to be noisy, or at least your thoughts should be noisy and colorful and
lively.
Mel Brooks 1926-, American Actor, Director

Philosopher
Tell me what gives a man or woman their greatest pleasure and I'll tell you
