Today is the birthday of the following people:
John Jay (1745 –
1829):
“The wise and the
good never form the majority of any large society and it seldom happens that
their measures are uniformly adopted.”
Gustave Flaubert
(1821 – 1880):
“Do not read, as
children do, to amuse yourself, or like the ambitious, for the purpose of
instruction. No, read in order to live.”
and
“Human speech is like
a cracked kettle on which we tap crude rhythms for bears to dance to, while we
long to make music that will melt the stars.”
and
“There is not a
particle of life which does not bear poetry within it.”
and
“One can be the
master of what one does, but never of what one feels.”
and
“The more humanity
advances, the more it is degraded.”
Patrick O’Brian (1914
– 2000):
“We understood one
another better before ever I opened my mouth.”
Frank Sinatra (1915 –
1998):
“A simple I love you
means more than money.”
and
“You only go around
once, but if you play your cards right, once is enough.”
