                  OVERHEARD:

Wisdom from singer/artist Tony Bennett, age 86:

Work doesn’t feel like work if you’re passionate
          about what you do.
Do something to improve yourself, every single day.
Choose a career that encompasses what you
          gravitate to naturally, and you’ll have a
          satisfying lifelong vocation

 If fifty million people say a foolish thing,
                it is still a foolish thing. 
                       (Anatole France)

Words, like glasses,
obscure everything they do not make clear.
   (Joseph Joubert - 1754–1824)

Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass. 
It's about learning to dance in the rain
(Vivian Greene) 

    You can't always judge by appearances:  
    the early bird may have been up all night.

   Intellectuals solve problems;
geniuses prevent them.  
(Albert Einstein)

              A mind, once expanded by a new idea,  
            never returns to its original dimensions.  
                         (Oliver Wendell Holmes)

The loser tries to change the wind; 
the winner changes the sail.

The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in time of great moral crisis,
maintain their neutrality.
