“When a thing is true, there is no need to use any arguments to substantiate it.”   — Vinoba Bhave

(Sometimes, when I’m having trouble getting started, I’ll go down to the author of the quote, as a kind of clue.  I’m glad I didn’t need to do that today, because even with everything but the “V”s I still didn’t have a clue as to who the author was.  Google is a wonderful help!) —   YUR
