“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.” – Emerson“Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.” – Churchill
“We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.” – Einstein
I am constantly consumed by Einstein quotes as well as Emerson & Thoreau’s ideals. And just recently I’ve gotten into Churchill’s quotes (the other one I love is, “If you are going through hell, keep going.”). This summer, I’d like to set aside time to just read about these people.
Well… I think I shall wrap up things here, run my errands, and then camp out at home with a blanket & some poetry books. And warm cider. While I watch the snow pile up on my balcony.
