10 Reader Quote: The truth of a person
Thanks to reader Jean Winchester (London) who
provides this week's quote ... Jean writes :
> "I wondered if you would like a quote for your newsletter.
> It's one of my favourites, and it comes from the British
> author, Molly Cutpurse. Don't know how relevant
> it is, but I like it! It reads:
"The truth of a person is defined by what they might do
if they knew they would not get caught."
