Good Morning! Here are your daily birthday quotations...
Samuel Johnson (1709 – 1784):

with a man who has written more than he has read.”

“Curiosity is, in great and
generous minds, the first passion and the last.”
and
“What is written without effort
is in general read without pleasure.”
and
“Patriotism is the last refuge
of a scoundrel.”
Anna Deveare Smith (1950 - ):

bantering about the words when the real open conversations might very well be
our actions. I worry about our rhetoric.”
