Good Morning! Here are your daily birthday quotations...

Augusten Burroughs (1965 - ):

“I myself am made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions.”

and

“Your mind is like an unsafe neighborhood; don't go there alone.”

“Weird” Al Yankovic (1959 - ):

"As my father used to tell me, the only true sign of success in life is being able to do for a living that which makes you happy."

Johnny Carson (1925 – 2005):

“Never continue in a job you don't enjoy. If you're happy in what you're doing, you'll like yourself, you'll have inner peace. And if you have that, along with physical health, you will have had more success than you could possibly have imagined.”

Gordon Korman (1963 - ):

“Ask yourself: 'Do I feel the need to laminate?' Then teaching is for you.”

It is also “Mole Day,” a day celebrated among chemists and chemistry students on October 23, between 6:02 AM and 6:02 PM, making the date 6:02 10/23, which aligns with Avogadro's number, (approximately 6.02×1023) defining the number of particles (atoms or molecules) in one mole of substance. Every year, there is a “theme” to “Mole Day.” This year’s theme is “Mole O'Ween."
