> ``Ars longa, vita brevis'' - Hippocrates
Of course, what Hippokrates really wrote was
"Ὁ βίος βραχύς, ἡ δὲ τέχνη μακρή"
Naturally. But for hysterical raisins I stick to ASCII in my .sigs, and anyway, the Latin version allows me to say "Arse longa, vita brevis" when appropriate.
What Hippocrates definitely didn't say was "First, do no harm", though it is close to something in the Epidemics which I have refrained from looking up.

featured megaliths that address all questions by piling on ridiculous
internal links in forms which are hideously over-complex.
