Richard, You have gone back and found a very old one. Yes, it is one to think about. Imagination is the best nation on earth. Thanks for dropping by. Sara

Dear Sara, I saw this quote previously and you hit the nail on the head with your witty write. Kept thinking of Rodney Dangerfield's "no respect" attitude. Imagination often supersedes intelligence. My sis says she got the brains and beauty and I got imagination and better nails. LOL Enjoyed! Love, Carolyn

oooh, yes, a slam on those who copy others for lack of imagination. Good idea, Sara. GREAT quote you chose to emulate.
