"What can we say to a man who tells you that he would rather obey God than men, and that therefore he is sure to go to heaven for butchering you? Even the law is impotent against these attacks of rage; it is like reading a court decree to a raving maniac. These fellows are certain that the holy spirit with which they are filled is above the law, that their enthusiasm is the only law that they must obey." - Voltaire (Francois Marie Arouet, 1694-1778)

My dad used to say repeatedly:
There's only two ways to do anything.
First, there's the right way.
Or second, you can do it over and over and over and over again
till you do it the first way.
Ben Eldred Jeffries 1914-1998
(make sure you use appropriate hand motions when saying the above.)

Joe, he sounds like a wise man, your dad. (But not Jewish, huh?)
Anyway, I will forward that to Mr.P. I think he'll like it because it's very similar to a quote by his uncle Dwight (great minds...):
"Everytime I deviate from standard practice in carpentry, I later find out why it was standard practice."
Dwight Henderson

MsOlga! Kurt Vonnegut? LOL
I see I'm remiss with my quotes. There were two good ones, including another from Kurt V. on the 18th!
"Architects give us temples in which something marvelous is obviously going on. Actually, practically nothing is going on."
