Today is the birthday of the following people:
Janeane Garofalo
(1964 - ):
"Many people
feel that mass acceptance and smooth socialization are desirable life paths for
a young adult... Many people are often wrong... Don't bother being nice. Being
popular and well liked is not in your best interest. Let me be more clear; if
you behave in a manner pleasing to most, then you are probably doing something
wrong. The masses have never been arbiters of the sublime, and they often fail
to recognize the truly great individual. Taking into account the public's
regrettable lack of taste, it is incumbent upon you not to fit in."
and
"To me, there is
no greater act of courage than being the one who kisses first."
John Sayles (1950 -
):
“To this day, I get
rewrite offers where they say: 'We feel this script needs work with character,
dialogue, plot and tone,' and when you ask what's left, they say: 'Well, the
typing is very good.' “
and
“I've always felt
like I was on the margins. Once upon a time that's what independent used to
mean.”
Ed Sullivan (1902 –
1974):
“If you do a good job
for others, you heal yourself at the same time, because a dose of joy is a
spiritual cure. It transcends all barriers.”
It is “Teachers Day”
in China and the Philippines. Ceremonies dedicated to Confucius on this day.
So, here are some sayings attributed to Confucius:
“Our greatest glory
is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.”
and
“He who knows all the
answers has not been asked all the questions.”
and
“Wherever you go, go
with all your heart.”
and
“You cannot open a
book without learning something.”
and
“It is not the
failure of others to appreciate your abilities that should trouble you, but
rather your failure to appreciate theirs.”
and
“I hear and I forget.
I see and I remember. I do and I understand.”
