Quote o' the Week -- Courtesy of the Mark Twain Project

As to the past, there is but one good thing about it, and that is, that it is the past—we don’t have to see it again. There is nothing in it worth pickling for present or future use. Each day that is added to the past is but an old boot added to a pile of rubbish. I have no tears for my pile, no respect, no reverence, no pleasure in taking a rag-picker’s hook and exploring it. If you can find valuables in your pile, lucky boy you—that is all.

--Samuel Clemens aka Mark Twain

(What the heck is a 'rag-picker's hook?)
