Sydney J. Harris Quote

"We have not passed that subtle line
between childhood and adulthood
until we move
from the passive voice
to the active voice -- that is,
until we have stopped saying,
'It got lost,'
and say, 'I lost it.'"

Take responsibility. You have to get lost to get saved. What are these, inalienable rights ? Then I was taught my rights and thrown in the water to swim. Saved as long as I keep swimming and sharing the knowledge of being free and set at liberty.  -- Ron w13, Or
But two words are needed ( the egotistical subscriber said ): INDIVIDUAL and RESPONSIBILITY.  -- Bob Leavitt, Charlotte, VT
It's called taking responsibility -- in other words, being a grown-up.  -- E Archer, NYC
