From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2004-04-30:
Wine is strong,(submitted to the mailing list by Stig Hackvan)
the King is stronger,
women are strongest,
but TRUTH conquers all.
-- translation of an inscription in the Rosslyn Chapel (near Edinburgh, Scotland). The original reads "FORTE EST VINUM, FORTIOR EST REX, FORTIORES SUNT MULIERES: SUPER OMNIA VINCIT VERITAS" and is taken from Chapter 3 of Esdras in the Apocrypha.
(And a happy birthday to doubleplus.)
