One of the things I like to read in the paper is the section with "This Day in History," which has events from the past, birthdays of famous folks (although I will confess to not recognizing many of the celebrities under 30!), and the Quote of the Day. Here's the quote for today from someone else I never heard of, English poet Coventry Patmore (1823-1896)...

"Nearly all our disasters come from a few fools having the 'courage of their convictions.'"

Remind you of anybody?
