"Life is all about discovering things that do matter in the end."
"If you aren't sure who you are, you might as well work on who you want to be."
"Nothing reduces the odds against you like ignoring them."
"The realist sees reality as concrete. The optimist sees reality as clay."
"What good thing ever done was not the fruit of a confident expectation."
"What is progress but the realized vision of some optimist."
"Never point a finger where you never lent a hand."

I must say, I love all of these...
I've returned from the dark side and look forward to reading what I've missed these past weeks.(smile)
Enjoy your weekend,
Mattie
Mattie, I hope that your return indicates not just the triumph of will we all knew was inevitable but a genuinely improved state of health. It's great to see a new verse on your poetry blog. Do not, absolutely not, feel any need to go back and comment on my recent posts. We go forward from here.

How on Earth do you come up with such good quotes day after day?
Ken, I'm actually surprised that I still can. But it helps to start with a file of 1000 or so thought fragments that I've been reworking for 40 years.
Peeked in on your blog earlier. Really curious to see those Brittany photos. I'm the one who accused you of Anglicizing the place, and I find it hard to believe that you've haven't gone and turned it into a manicured lawn all over again.
BTW, I'm a big Don Williams fan myself. Loved his 80's duets with Emmy Lou Harris.
