Reader comments about this quote:

Original well written and true -- Peter Wasowski, Kamuela
Well written by a very articulate person -- Klara, New York
I would have to know the context and specific audience intended before rating the comment. By example; truth exists eternally outside an origination of one. Customs may begin as a continuation of successful attributes rather than a broken precedent. As a stand alone comment, I would be prone to give it "one" star. -- Mike, Norwalk 2
Truth is ever-present, its origin from the mouth of Nature's God. ;-) I think what Astor means is the realization of the truth rests with the individual. This shift may set new precedents and be the beginning of a new tradition (until the next big realization). -- E Archer, NYC 1
Speaking of herself more than likely. No deep thought there. More could be said, but why waist the ink. -- Ronw13, Oregon 1
Maximum wage now. -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown 2
