Today's Words of Wisdom - September 22, 2015

Today is the birthday of the following people:


Tommy Lasorda (1927 - ):
“About the only problem with success is that it does not teach you how to deal with failure.”



Fay Weldon (1931 - ):
“Truly, books are wonderful things; to sit alone in a room and laugh and cry, because you are reading, and still be safe when you close the book; and having finished it, discover you are changed, yet unchanged! To be able to visit the City of Invention at will, depart at will – that is all, really, education is about, should be about.” 



Nick Cave (1957 - ):
“Music is storming, driving, relentless, devotional, slinky, subtle, heartbreakingly-beautiful sounds that, lyrically, switch from the cynical to the sanguine, the defeated to the defiant, dealing in love, war, beauty, children, romance, rejection, Pethedine, poetry, panties, God, Auden, Johnny Cash, cold potatoes, too-much-money, not enough money, writer’s block, flowers, animals and more flowers. But maybe I’m projecting here.”



Joan Jett (1958 - ):
“Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something. Make your own victories. Make your own mistakes.”

and

“You got nothing to lose, you don't lose when you lose fake friends.”
