Quote of the day

You might sit at your computer, thinking you own and control your own ideas but it doesn't take long before you realize that you're part of a bigger network.

The new way to look at it is, 'I'm connected, therefore I am. '

Thinking leads man to knowledge. He may see and hear, and read and learn, as much as he please; he will never know any of it, except that which he has thought over, that which by thinking he has made the property of his mind.
