AWESOME!!!

Some books just say they don't know who that came from. It's a widely used quote, but I thought the real source would never be found.

What's your source? How did you find this out?

And man that quote is awesome. Every church and family should post that on the door...in the vernacular. ;-)

I'd seen it attributed to Phillip Melanchthon. Ah well. It's still one of the best guidelines around.
