Sometime ago, I came across this saying and I have taken the trouble to dig it out and share with you because it has intrigued me ever since I read it first...if have read and reread it again and again...."If a man empties his purse into his head no one can take it away from him. An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest"...Benjamin Franklin 1706 - 1790....and I think it turned me into a book worm.

That is a very cool saying....my favorite it by Winston Churchill....success is not final....failure is not fatal...it's the courage to continue that counts! Many wise men of the past aren't there?

Hmm Honeypals, Yes, I like the quote. I just wish I'd known it when I was at school - lol (although I did read a lot in those days). MC
