Good Morning!
Today is the birthday of Edward Gibbon (1737 – 1794) who said:
“My early and invincible love of reading--I would not
exchange for the treasures of India.”
and
“Conversation enriches the understanding, but solitude is the
school of genius.”
It is also the birthday of Mary Wollstonecraft (1759 – 1797) who said:
“The beginning is always today.”
Happy Birthday to Ulysses S. Grant (1822 – 1885) who said:
“Leave the matter of religion to the family altar, the church, and the private school, supported entirely by private contributions. Keep the
church and state forever separate.”
Today is the birthday of playwright August Wilson (1945 – 2005) who said:
“Confront the dark parts of yourself, and work to banish them
with illumination and forgiveness. Your willingness to wrestle with your demons
will cause your angels to sing.”
and
“You got to be right with yourself before you can be right
with anybody else.”
and
“Have a belief in yourself that is bigger than anyone's
disbelief.”
Finally, it is the birthday of Cory Booker (1969 - ) who said:
“Before you speak to me about your religion, first show it to
me in how you treat other people; before you tell me how much you love your
God, show me in how much you love all His children; before you preach to me of
your passion for your faith, teach me about it through your compassion for your
neighbors. In the end, I'm not as interested in what you have to tell or sell
as in how you choose to live and give.”
