Quote of the Day 4 -24-2013

[Papaw]

He uses statistics as a drunken man uses lampposts - for support rather than for illumination.

Andrew Lang

[Branson]

Great quote!  Where did you find it?  I'm quite fond of Andrew Lang.

I grabbed that one from a Facebook group I belong to- Quote of the Day- https://www.facebook.com/groups/184090004964607/

Many of the quotes I post come from memory with Google helping me get them correct and attributed properly. Sometimes the quote has some relevance to some item in the news, life, or a passing thought. When I am at a loss , I go to Brainy Quote- http://www.brainyquote.com/ and grab one that suits my mood.

I have posted before that any member that wishes may post a Quote of the Day if one hasn't yet been posted. I usually post for the next day after 11 PM. The only caveat would be that a quote here shouldn't be overly controversial , religious, or political.
