  William Osler

en When men yield up the privilege of thinking, the last shadow of liberty quits the horizon.
  Thomas Paine

en I don't think that's a bad habit; I think sucking your thumb is an OK habit, ... Somebody's bad habit could be smoking, that's kind of a bad habit because it's harmful to you. But thumb-sucking really can't hurt you, except for your dental plan.
