Quote For Today from Henry Ford

There is lots I don't like about Henry Ford, but there is no denying he was a fascinating and complex character.  This quote of his is one of my favorites and while Henry Ford and I don't agree on much ( he was a violent anit-Semite who hated labor unions and was happy to make a profit from war as well as peace) we do agree on this definition of getting old.

On the other hand, he was definitely a visionary.  It's just that his visions were sometimes a little warped.

Believe You Can

A quote from Theodore Roosevelt that I hadn't heard before, but with which I am in total agreement.   In fact,  I think I'm going to print this out and put it on my fridge, where I'll be sure to see it every morning as I grope for the cream for my coffee.  It is worth remembering every single day.  Oh and I love the picture too, of course.

Reblogged from a delightful blog I've been following for years.  Go have nice long browse through the photos on A Little Piece of Me.   You'll like it.  I promise

Thoughts on The Wisdom of Animals

Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, was an expert on the natural wisdom of the plant and animal kingdoms.  Funny how we so often forget what the ancients knew instinctively.

One picture and one quote say it all.

Something To Reflect on for Easter Sunday

"You do not do the things you do because others will necessarily join you in the doing of them, nor because they will ultimately prove successful. You do the things you do because the things you are doing are right."
