Let Me Quote You...

Lazy-post time again. Here are some more of the quotes I have been saving for awhile to help us all get through another 24 hours. The theme may very well be to break our stranglehold on our own sense of importance.

Olin Miller, for whom I can find no bio material, is a good place to start. Here is wisdom that we ego-centric types surely don't want to hear, even on our worst days.

"You probably wouldn't worry about what people think of you if you would know how seldom they do."

Sidney J. Harris, journalist and critic, speaks with the wisdom of youth- and of age- when he observes that ages old problem of reinventing the wheel.

"Nothing can be so amusingly arrogant as a young man who has just discovered an old idea and thinks it is his own."

Albert Einstein, who needs no introduction, continues on that same thought, only now thinking of the presence of a Higher Power...

"Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish."

John Ciardi, American poet and essayist, gives us another of those "you-have-all-the-proof-you-need-all-around-you" quotes.

"The Constitution gives every American the inalienable right to make a damn fool of himself."

And finally, outside the theme, and for no apparent reason, here's J. R. R. Tolkien who has a quote permanently gracing the top of this page...

"It's a dangerous business going out your front door."
