Hello Again Thoughtful Travelers!  Welcome to today’s thought for March 10, 2016. 

The source of this quote is unknown.

 “Old men and far travelers may lie with authority.”

So what are your thoughts on today’s quote? Here’s mine:

“I guess old men and far travelers have both been places and seen things that nobody else has.  So it’s hard to definitively challenge whatever they say, even if it sounds a bit far-fetched.  Sometimes their stories may be totally true.  Sometimes they may get off track because their memory falters.  And, sometimes they just don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story, kind of like a movie based on the truth gets fictionalized to make it more interesting.  Anyway, both are worth hearing; just make sure you separate the wheat from the chaff.”

Now…here’s the list of all the sources quoted in March.  I hope you’ll stop by each day to enjoy all the interesting and insightful things they have to say.  And leave a comment.  I’d like to hear your thoughts too.  Thanks, and see you tomorrow!
