Words of the Wise: Ancients

Welcome to the quotes archive. To make my life easier (at least for me) I decided to list everything by months. That way if you want to see last month's quotes you won't have to go through all of them to find them (and I doubt you'd have that much success finding them too). Also what I have been thinking is that later on when I have the time, I may make another list where all the quotes would be in alphabetical order by the author's last names. Have fun looking through these ancient scrolls ^_~!
