Good Morning!

Today is the birthday of Rudolf Steiner (1861 – 1925) who said:

“Love starts when we push aside our ego and make room for someone else.”

and

“Our highest endeavor must be to develop free human beings who are able of themselves to impart purpose and direction to their lives. The need for imagination, a sense of truth, and a feeling of responsibility—these three forces are the very nerve of education.”

and

“You will not be good teachers if you focus only on what you do and not upon who you are.”

It is also the birthday of John Foster Dulles (1888 – 1959) who said:

“The measure of success is not whether you have a tough problem to deal with, but whether it is the same problem you had last year.”

and

“A man's accomplishments in life are the cumulative effect of his attention to detail.”

Happy Birthday to Anthony Burgess (1917 – 1993) who said:

“We can destroy what we have written, but we cannot unwrite it.”

and

“Language exists less to record the actual than to liberate the imagination.”

Birthday greetings to Larry Gelbart (1928 – 2009) who said:

“Most jokes state a bitter truth.”

Today is the birthday of George Harrison (1943 - 2001) who said:

“It's being here now that's important. There's no past and there's no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can't relive it; and we can hope for the future, but we don't know if there is one.”

and

“With every mistake, we must surely be learning.”

It is also the birthday of X frontman John Doe (1954 - ) who said:

“See how we are

Gotta keep bars on all of our windows

See how we are

We only sing about it once in every twenty years”

Finally, it is the birthday of Rashida Jones (1976 - ) who said:

“Smiling is definitely one of the best beauty remedies. If you have a good sense of humor and a good approach to life, that's beautiful.”

and

“I know that in life there will be sickness, devastation, disappointments, heartache - it's a given. What's not a given is the way you choose to get through it all. If you look hard enough, you can always find the bright side.”
