Quote of the Day

I have no idea who Columellama was, but he clearly had his head screwed on; anyone who has tried to get a gang of hostile engineers to do something they’re not keen on will sympathise.
Nowadays, I make it a practice to call them into consultation on any new work … I observe that they are more willing to set about a piece of work on which their opinions have been asked and their advice followed. - Columellama, Roma Landlord, 100 A.D.
