Had originally posted this great List of 31 from Tony Epp back in 2011 -- recently reviewed it and decided it was worthy of being posted again. Tony Epps favorite sayings - List of 31 from retirement party - 4/9/2005 From Tony Epp -- at Nebraska Wesleyan University from 1971 until he retired in 2005 -- Very popular French and German Professor -- not because he was easy -- because he made learning fun and he was fair. Some of the 31 quotes below are Tonys Originals, some are good choices from others. He used to post his saying of the week outside his office. Do a search of the quote text if you are interested in the original author - if one is known. Which are your favorites from the 31? It is hard to choose only a few!!!
