Quote Of The Day

[Rose White]

Happy 1,959th birthday to Horace , Roman lyric poet who authored two commonly used phrases— namely, “Seize the day” and a version of “Just do it,” or “No try, do.”

His versions:
“Seize the day, and put the least possible trust in tomorrow.”
“Don’t think, just do.”

Another one I like of his, “Dare to be wise, begin!”

“Weary of myself, and sick of asking
What I am, and what I ought to be,
At this vessels prow I stand, which bears me
Forwards, forwards, o’er the starlit sea”

Re-quotong Fridays'quote -

We are all connected.
To each other, biologically.
To the earth, chemically.
To the rest of the universe, atomically.
- Neil deGrasse Tyson

(Reading this beauty today , it struck me, we are so deeply connected - yet , so disconnected and alone)

This one keeps coming back around these days:

From plants to presidents and all things in between, if we allow unwanted behavior we will get more of it, every time.

Me, circa 1977 while pruning landscapes during the Carter administration, post Nixon/Ford. Nothing new under the sun.
