Patience and Fortitude

The most difficult thing in the world is to know how to do a thing and to watch someone else do it wrong, without comment.

… T.H. White

The Means to Success

The codfish lays ten thousand eggs,

The homely hen lays one.

The codfish never cackles

To tell you what she’s done.

And so we scorn the codfish,

While the humble hen we prize,

Which only goes to show you

That it pays to advertise.

An Apt Exchange

Two strangers were sitting in a train club car sipping their drinks, when one turned to the other and said, “I notice you have your arm in a sling. Accident?” “No,” said the other. “I broke it trying to pat myself on the back.” “What for?” asked the first. Responded the second, “For minding my own business.”

A Force to Be Reckoned with

I am full of wisdom, humor, tears, passion, and love.

I am that which is held tightly to the breast, lightly on the lap, peered at, sighed over, and remembered.

I bring you foolish fancies; I bring friendship to the lonely. I take you with me to the far reaches of the earth from»India»to»China, to Mars, to Venus, and probe into the habits of chimpanzees.

I reach into your mind. I show you things that are unbelievable and make you believe them. You must treasure me, protect me: I give you a knowledge of life you never dreamed of. Don’t desecrate me. I fill the empty places of your life. I give myself to you gladly: seek me out and find me.

I am a»BOOK.

What’s in a Name?
