Walk this way…

We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aid, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn. – Henry David Thoreau

The Fab Four flying by again…

The sculptor will chip off all unnecessary material to set free the angel. Nature will chip and pound us remorselessly to bring out our possibilities. She will strip us of wealth, humble our pride, humiliate our ambition, let us down from the ladder of fame, will discipline us in a thousand ways, if she can develop a little character. Everything must give way to that. Wealth is nothing, position is nothing, fame is nothing, character is everything. – Orison Swett Marden, American writer

Pardon me but do you have any grey poupon?

I’d rather learn from one bird how to sing
than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance.  – E.E. Cummings

Mallards…

The hardest thing to explain is the glaringly evident which everybody has decided not to see. – Ayn Rand (The Fountainhead)
