Fellow travelers,

Here is another “Quint of Quotes” from my collection.  These five somewhat related sayings are about the way news is reported and used today.  I hope you find them thought-provoking, or at least interesting, but please don’t fight over them!

            but a man of understanding remains silent.” – Proverbs 11:12
