Maybe not thread intend but it is a great line and I am quoting it.

"Will wealthy Democrats back Webb? No. They can forgive populist rhetoric if they know it’s insincere, but they can’t be sure that Webb doesn’t mean what he says."

The first to apologize is the bravest
The first to forgive is the strongest
The first to forget is the HAPPIEST!

I can't recall who told me this first but if was likely my Father:

"If it's got wheels or a skirt on it, it's going to give you trouble."

In my limited experience on the surface of this planet that seems to have proven true many times over.

"Whenever there is a huge spill of solar energy...it's just called a nice day". (like today's "spill")

Okay, not an exact quote, but very close, by Kahlil Gibran.

"They deem me mad because I will not sell my days for gold.
I deem them mad because they think my days have a price."


And, maybe from "Illusions" or maybe from somewhere else...

"You are exactly where you want to be."

I understand this quote from Omar Khayyam was misinterpreted but love it anyway (the topic is a bit too broad for me personally, as it is impossible to choose! except in a per-circumstance, maybe?).

The moving Finger writes
And having writ, moves on.
And all thy piety and wit
Shall alter not a word of it!
Not all thy tears wash out
A single line.

Then there was my Mom (saying the same thing): Life is what you make it.

He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not, is a fool--shun him.
He who knows not, and knows that he knows not, is a child--teach him.
He who knows, and knows not that he knows, is asleep--wake him.
He who knows, and knows that he knows, is a wise man--follow him.
