With this recent rainy weather, I’ve been spending quite a lot of time under the protection of Mumma and Dan’s bed. Yes, there is a roof on our house, but I feel safest hidden there.
Despite this burden, I managed to gather a full week of wonderful quotes: Ralph Waldo Emerson, a favorite of mine, provided Monday’s gem. Credit Henry Stanley Haskins for the next two. Thursday’s brilliance belongs to Alan Kay. And quotes from author George Eliot finish out the week.
Enjoy!
Monday: What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
Tuesday: Compliments have lost their lure by the time a man does not have to fish for them.
Wednesday: The man who is too old to learn was probably always too old to learn.
Thursday: The best way to predict the future is to invent it.
Friday: Wear a smile and have friends; wear a scowl and have wrinkles.
Saturday: It is never too late to be what you might have been.
Sunday: Animals are such agreeable friends – they ask no questions; they pass no criticisms.
No truer words have ever been written.
Have a Happy Independence Day! You people and your fireworks… looks like I’ll be under the bed again.
