SIR BENJAMIN COLLINS BRODIE English surgeon (1783 - 1862) Humility leads to the highest distinction, because it leads to self-improvement.       - [Humility] Nothing in this world is so good as usefulness. It binds your fellow-creatures to you, and you to them; it tends to the improvement of your own character; and it gives you a real importance in society, much beyond what any artificial station can bestow.       - [Usefulness] The failure of his mind in old age is often less the result of natural decay than of disuse. Ambition has ceased to operate; contentment brings indolence; indolence, decay of mental power, ennui, and sometimes death. Men have been known to die, literally speaking, of disease induced by intellectual vacancy.       - [Mind] The GIGA name and the GIGA logo are trademarks registered in the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
