Fellow Twainians: I hate to be the first one to reply (because I am sure many of you know about it), but Barbara Schmidt has an excellent Mark Twain Quotations web site <http://www.twainquotes.com/>. Also, after a five-ten minute Google search, I found four web sites and one PowerPoint presentation, all attributing the quote to Will Rogers (two of them were financial-related). Armitage's--quote copied from Larry Howe's message: "even though you're on the right track, you can get run over if you're not going fast enough."-- is not precisely accurate according to the sites I found (one of which is slightly different from the others). 1. "Even if you're on the right track, you're gonna get run over if you're just sitting there." _Entrepreneur_ Magazine web site, Nov. 2002. 2. "Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there." National Staff Development Council web site , Staff Development Library: "Powerful Words" (twenty or so quotes including this one). 3. "Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there." Planned Parenthood web site. Speeches: "Awakening: The Courage to Act." March 2002. 4. "Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there." Brian L. Sullivan, Independent Financial Services web site. This example is, of course, but one in a long historical line of misattributions to Twain.
