Quote (#495)

"Life is half spent before
we know what it is."
- George Herbert

If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep
streets even as Michaelangelo painted, or Beethoven played
music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets
so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to
say, here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.

"People who have no weaknesses are terrible;
there is no way of taking advantage of them."
- Anatole France

"I don't have a photograph, but you can have
my footprints. They're upstairs in my socks."
- Groucho Marx

Every subject at some phase of its development
should possess, what is for the individual
concerned with it, an aesthetic quality.
- John Dewey

To find out what one is fitted to do, and to secure
an opportunity to do it, is the key to happiness.
- John Dewey
