Joan, Hope you won't mind this one being a bit long -
"Sometime when you're feeling important;
Sometime when your ego's in bloom;
Sometime when you take it for granted,
You're the best qualified in the room.
Sometime when you think that your going,
Would leave an unfillable hole,
Just follow these simple instructions
And see how they humble your soul.
Take a bucket and fill it with water,
Put your hand in it up to the wrist,
Pull it out and the hole that's remaining,
Is a measure of how much you'll be missed.
You can splash all you wish when you enter,
You may stir up the water galore.
But stop, and you'll find that in no time,
It looks quite the same as before.
The moral of this quaint example
Is to do just the best that you can;
Be proud of yourself but remember,
There's no indispensable man."
(The Indispensable Man, by Saxon White Kessinger).

"If you don’t read the newspaper you are uninformed - if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed."
Attributed but not substantiated to Mark Twain. He undoubtedly made the distinction about being informed and misinformed but its believed someone in time added the newspapers, although i think they meant to put BBC news!!
