Today on Quotes of the Day:
Harland David Sanders was born at Henryville, Indiana on this day in 1890. His father's death six years later led to Harland doing all the cooking for the family. He left school early and led a varied career including street-car conductor, a soldier in China at sixteen, a railroad fireman, justice of the peace (after a correspondence course in law), he operated an Ohio River ferry line, sold insurance, and operated a service station. At the service station, he fed hungry travelers in his quarters above the station. When the food proved more popular than auto service, he moved to the hotel across the street where he could seat 140. In 1935 he was made a Kentucky Colonel for his contribution to the state's cuisine. The company he founded serves about six billion pieces of chicken every year, so I'll serve up six Chicken quotes.
