Memory Spots

No stream or gas drives anything until it is confined.

No Niagara is ever turned into light and power until it is tunneled.

No life ever grows great until it is focused, dedicated and disciplined.

Our heads are round so that

thoughts can change direction.

-Francis Picabia, painter and poet (1879-1953)

"I am not judged by the number of times I fail,

but by the number of times I succeed; and

the number of times I succeed is in direct proportion

to the number of times I can fail and keep on trying."

~ Tom Hopkins

Never bear more than one trouble at a time.

Some people bear three kinds -
all they have had,

all they have now, and

all they expect to have.

Just praise is only a debt,

but flattery is a present.

-Samuel Johnson, lexicographer (1709-1784)
