Q.  How can I come up with quotations such as this one as quickly as 
everybody else?

CO1 13:13  And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest
 of these is charity.

A.  Let me pass on this tip so I can be promoted from "last person to hear 
about this" to "second to last...":

Type 
	telnet info.rutgers.edu
	Library
	Reference

and you will be greeted with a menu listing various reference books that you
can consult online, including a dictionary, a thesaurus, the Oxford Book of
Familiar Quotations, the King James Bible, the Koran, and the Book of Mormon.

Happy hunting!

--Diane (named for Diana, ancient Roman goddess of the hunt)
