    Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours.
    - Yogi Berra


    I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death. What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch and you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities. You become a little baby, you go back into the womb, spend your last nine months floating... and you finish off as an orgasm.
    - George Carlin

    "The budget should be balanced,the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt.

    “When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing; when you see that money is flowing to those who deal not in goods, but in favors; when you see that men get rich more easily by graft than by work, and your laws no longer protect you against them, but protect them against you. . . you may know that your society is doomed.” - Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

    “I’m more concerned about the return ‘of’ my money than the return ‘on’ my money” — Will Rogers

    And on the lighter side........

    I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

    And the follow on quote by the robber is short and sweet.

    I remember back in the early 1960's when I helped my uncle on his farm in Illinois, the farmers would say "If it isn't broken, don't fix it!". Great advice for those who try to "fix" their coins.

    Had to find the one by Isaac Asimov:

    "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

    first off it is a lot and not alot.

    In checking back he said that color adds a little and forgives a lot. I distinctly remember that because it was the statement I modified for my sig line. It is likely the same statement was made where toning or eye appeal was used too. EA has long been a component of grading whether the coin was toned or blast white. One can find a lot of coins in holders properly graded that don't have much going for them eye appeal-wise.

    Maybe HRH will see this and chime in to clarify. I did find one thread from 2004 about color adding a little and forgiving a lot.
