Looking for wisdom

My daughter just went through sorority rush week, complete with long days, "cut lists," tearful calls home, happiness, the fateful decision and a momentary bout of second guessing. There should be a profound quote that is applicable for such a roller coaster experience, but I'm still looking. Meanwhile, there are some quotes of the day for Fresh Talk readers:

Selected from Michael Moncur's Collection of Quotations - August 25, 2008

Politics is not the art of the possible. It consists in choosing between the disastrous and the unpalatable.
John Kenneth Galbraith (1908 - 2006)

This quote rings true relative to produce safety legislation. The end result may well be unpalatable in view of associated costs, but one can hope the industry can avoid unmitigated disaster.

I went into a McDonald's yesterday and said, 'I'd like some fries.' The girl at the counter said, 'Would you like some fries with that?
Jay Leno (1950 - )

So true.... the art of add on selling. Would you like a load of squash with those strawberries?
