"The woman who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. The woman who walks alone is likely to find herself in places no one has ever been before."
Albert Einstein

Appropriate for you guys out there too!

Buen Camino to all!

Fabulous quote. I've always tended to live my life like that, so it's close to my heart. Do you mind if I use that for my signature? Cheers for sharing, JenD.

Well Einstein certainly won't! It is very unlikely he actually coined the quote in the first place!! See here for one view on the quote's provenance.

Ah, cheers for that Dougfitz. I didn't really see the 'woman' version as coming from Einstein, considering how he mistreated and abused his first wife. I do prefer the one that uses 'one' instead of 'man' or 'woman'. The possible originator of the saying sounds an interesting bloke in his own right.
