The person attempting to travel two roads at once will get nowhere.

Quote of the Day -- Samuel Ullman

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust. Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing child-like appetite of what's next, and the joy of the game of living.

 -- Samuel Ullman

Quote of the Day -- Hugh Laurie

It’s a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you’re ready. I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything. There’s almost no such thing as ready. There’s only now. And you may as well do it now. I mean, I say that confidently as if I’m about to go bungee jumping or something — I’m not. I’m not a crazed risk taker. But I do think that generally speaking, now is as good a time as any.  

-- Hugh Laurie

Quote of the Day -- Gabrielle Bernstein

Quote of the Day -- George Will

It is said that God gave us memory so we could have roses in winter.

Quote of the Day -- Stephen Sondheim

Quote of the Day -- Jane Kenyon

Be a good steward of your gifts. Protect your time. Feed your inner life. Avoid too much noise. Read good books, have good sentences in your ears. Be by yourself as often as you can. Walk. Take the phone off the hook. Work regular hours.

 -- Jane Kenyon

Quote of the Day -- Plutarch

Good fortune will elevate even petty minds, and gives them the appearance of a certain greatness and stateliness, as from their high place they look down upon the world; but the truly noble and resolved spirit raises itself, and becomes more conspicuous in times of disaster and ill fortune… 

-- Plutarch

Quote of the Day -- Marcus Aurelius

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive—to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

-- Marcus Aurelius

Quote of the Day -- Dalai Lama

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.
