    My 4 year old son has a great saying infact its his favourite one and it is " Did you see me do it " and if your answer to him is no then he`ll say " so I didn`t do it then " :D

    Baron Rothschild, the famous French financier, was once heard to say that he knew of only two men who really understood money — an obscure clerk in the Bank of France and one of the directors of the Bank of England.
    “Unfortunately,” he added, “they disagree.”

    I confess, without shame, that I am sick and tired of fighting — its glory is all moonshine; even success the most brilliant is over dead and mangled bodies, with the anguish and lamentations of distant families, appealing to me for sons, husbands, and fathers ... it is only those who have never heard a shot, never heard the shriek and groans of the wounded and lacerated ... that cry aloud for more blood, more vengeance, more desolation.
    William Tecumseh Sherman
