    From time to time we all need a bit of wisdom thrown our way. I personally enjoy a good quote, just when I'm not expecting it .

    Here's my quote for today. It's a good one.

    "He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; he who does not ask a question remains a fool forever." - Chinese Proverb

    Have you got any quotes you would like to add?
