Yesterday's Answer:
Socrates was quoted by Diogenes Laertius in "The Lives of Eminent Philosophers," as having said, "There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance."
(Note: I would have understood this quote more readily had it been written with a semi-colon after the word, "knowledge.")
Today's Question:
By popular name and plant family, identify the plant: broad-leaved wayside weed related to sorrel; its leaves are a country remedy for nettle stings and were historically used to wrap butter.
I don't know much about weeds so I will have to defer on this one.
