In 1820, Charles Caleb Colton wrote, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery..."

At some point, a young Oscar Wilde added, "...that mediocrity can pay to greatness."

Wilde never claimed this proverb as his own.

That would prove him a charlatan and a fraud.

Colton and Wilde were wise, genuine men gifted with original thought.

Sadly, the plagiarists' gift is that of a vacuous mind.

Try this one: "The true measure of your character is what you do when nobody's watching."

So odd...I NEVER had to password protect the materials I was always HAPPY to share...for free. 

Then one day you find your materials mysteriously sitting in the output tray of a copy machine that you haven't touched since March of 2020. 

Not cool. 

As I said, I have ALWAYS been thrilled to hear that teachers from places like California, Colorado, Ottawa, and a very sweet young man who teaches at a boys' prep school in Zimbabwe. They found my website and my materials useful. They didn't have to write and ask, but they did, and it made my day. That is character.
