The ideas I stand for are not mine. I borrowed them from Socrates. I swiped them from Chesterfield. I stole them from Jesus. And I put them in a book. If you don't like their rules, whose would you use?
My grandfather used to tell my mom that kids should never have to worry about anything more serious than baseball. Everything you need to know is there.
