Quote of the Day

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” – Winston Churchill

Stubbornly persist, and you will find that the limits of your stubbornness go well beyond the stubbornness of your limits.  ~Robert Brault

This guy really gets it:

“A cup of coffee – real coffee – home-browned, home ground, home made, that comes to you dark as a hazel-eye, but changes to a golden bronze as you temper it with cream that never cheated, but was real cream from its birth, thick, tenderly yellow, perfectly sweet, neither lumpy nor frothing on the Java: such a cup of coffee is a match for twenty blue devils and will exorcise them all.”

~Henry Ward Beecher

Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair. – Kahlil Gibran

I took a holiday from the BS this weekend, so I did not see Loopy’s quote from that great American, Woody Guthrie, until this morning. Here is another, non-holiday-weekend bit of advice from Woody Guthrie: “Life has got a habit of not standing hitched. You got to ride it like you find it. You got to change with it. If a day goes by that don’t change some of your old notions for new ones, that is just about like trying to milk a dead cow.”

This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to the New York Island
From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me
Woody Guthrie
