Quote of the Day: "Fame usually comes to those who are thinking of something else." — Horace Greeley (02/03/1811 – 11/29/1872), US writer

Word of the Day: weal \WEEL\, noun: 1. Well-being, prosperity, or happiness. 2. A raised mark on the surface of the body produced by a blow. 3. (Obsolete:) the state or body politic.

In context: “Our difference of opinion amounts to this, that you make the mainspring self-interest, while I suppose that interest in the common weal is bound to exist in every man of a certain age of achievement.” — Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

(Weal shares the Old English root wela with welfare and a host of other English words. The ultimate source in Proto-Indo-European is wel-, which is also the ancestor of words related to will.)
