Date: January 15, 2011 01:54PM I love doing 'cryptoquotes' in the newspaper. Most of the time the quotes are interesting and thought provoking. Here is yesterdays:
"To succeed in the world it is not enough to be stupid, you must also be well-mannered." -Voltaire I am not sure who Voltaire is, but that person is often quoted. Must have been a very interesting person with a lot to say. It seems like sage advice. I often seem to be saying the intelligent thing, which is often not immediately apparent to most people, at the wrong time. Also often goes against commonly held ideas. Re: -Voltaire, Crytoquote

[en.wikipedia.org] Brilliant satirist and wit[obviously]. His novelette, Candide is still one of the best critiques of human folly ever written; I happily recommend it  Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
