Plutarch (Plutark in some references) was Greek as far as I can tell, 40ca ~ 120ca. Lived a long time for that period hey? "The most important Greek writer of the early Roman period, Plutarch, AD c.46-c.120, is primarily known for his Parallel Lives of Greek and Roman political and military leaders. Plutarch's home was at Chaeronea, near Delphi, where he became a priest of the Pythian Apollo, but he also traveled throughout Greece, visited Egypt and Rome, and learned Latin as a tool of research. " - tscnet.com Found this page of his quotes....#115 references Veni, vidi, vici small world. sol.com.sg Scanning through all the quotes, I could not find the quote I referenced. I only heard it once, in the HBO special "From the Earth to the Moon". The episode about Apollo 11. Great show. I doubt they just made it up so it must be buried someplace. I like it though...so here it is again: "The mind is not a vessle to be filled, but a fire to be lighted"
